Jiangsu: Man driving Tesla, turning suddenly accelerated into the river, Tesla: We don't carry the pot, so what is the reason?
Tesla is in trouble again! On December 24 in Liyang, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, a man drove a Tesla to carry his wife out, but what he did not expect was that when he reached the intersection of Qinghong Road, the car suddenly accelerated, deviated from the normal driving path, turned to the right and rushed out of the bridge railing and fell into the next river, and immediately some people said that it was a Tesla brake problem, netizens: Want to black Tesla is really not spared every traffic accident.
From the surveillance footage at the time, Tesla turned left from the straight lane into the left turn lane, in front of an intersection, but when the car just entered the left turn lane, the car turned sharply to the right, and also accelerated the operation, resulting in a river accident. From this simple few seconds of footage, it can be judged that something must have happened on the car at that time.
As soon as this matter came out, there were many opinions on the Internet, some people said that the quality of Tesla cars was caused, some people said that it was caused by test driving, of course, this statement has been denied, and some people say that it is caused by the quarrel between the husband and wife.
According to the latest report, the driver man has died in vain, and his wife is still in the rescue. So why is this happening? Several may exist.
The first case is the brake failure, we all know that people in a tense situation, it will be difficult to make an effective response, from the picture, the car in the left turn lane, the speed is not fast, but the front is a red light, he needs to step on the brake to stop the car, but found that the brake does not work, the direction of panic is wrong, but this situation has a suspicious point, that is, the back of the car is obviously accelerating, which will be linked to the second situation.
The second case is the disaster caused by the single-pedal mode, Tesla's single-pedal mode is really difficult for people who are not familiar with it to adapt. In this mode, stepping down is accelerating, lifting is braking, if the man was in this mode at the time, then the acceleration behavior behind it also makes sense, and in a hurry, stepped on the electric door.
The third situation is what everyone is discussing, the couple quarrels, in fact, as long as people who are familiar with driving know that they must not argue with the driver in the car, after all, people must maintain a high degree of concentration when driving, not to mention quarrels, even talking and the like will also be distracting. The driver's hands are on the steering wheel, and you argue with him at this time, and when your emotions are out of control, you can do anything impulsive.
Of course, what caused it in the end will have to wait for further investigation by the police.
It can be said that Tesla's "single pedal" mode refers to an acceleration pedal that can accelerate and decelerate the vehicle with the driver's control force. Accelerate down, release the deceleration, as long as the driver's foot feel skilled, you can completely control the strength of the pedal to complete a lot of operations.
However, this mode is still very different from other cars, in the case of acceleration at that time, there is a high probability of using the "single pedal" mode, resulting in the habitual use of the electric door as a brake, some people say that the old driver will not make such a mistake, but I want to say that not familiar with the performance of the car, everything is possible.
What do you think about that?
