On December 29, 2021, the roof defender of the car claimant said on Weibo that her case of defamation infringement with Tesla had been completed, and the problem of brake failure that everyone was most concerned about was still being dealt with by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the court.
In other words, Tesla's brake problems have not been obtained from April this year until now, and we have not obtained a more objective test result.
This matter began in February 2021, Ms. Zhang bought a Tesla model 3, and then Ms. Zhang's father drove the car to take her mother out, and in the process of driving, the brakes failed, resulting in an accident, and the two were also injured in this accident.
Later, there was the well-known roof rights protection incident, that is, on April 19, 2021, Ms. Zhang wore a printed T-shirt at the Shanghai Auto Show and stood on the roof of the car to demand rights protection.
After this incident occurred, Tesla's senior management said that Ms. Zhang was more professional about the claim, only demanding high compensation, and it should be someone behind the guidance and professional team in operation.
For these statements of Tesla executives, Ms. Zhang denied and believed that these statements by Tesla executives violated her reputation, so Ms. Zhang sued Tesla for violating the right to reputation and demanded a claim of 50,000 yuan.
But Tesla came to a riot operation, Tesla began to counter-sue Ms. Zhang, saying that Ms. Zhang's various practices were smearing Tesla, so they also sued Ms. Zhang for violating the right to reputation, but their claim amount was higher, 5 million yuan.
Ms. Zhang was very unhappy to see Tesla's operation, and she thought that her reputation value was only 1/10 of Tesla's reputation? Later, she raised her claim amount to 500,000 yuan.
Before the trial on December 29, Ms. Zhang said that the judge had made a Tesla appeal to her, that is, if Ms. Zhang was willing to withdraw the lawsuit against Tesla for infringement of nominal rights, Tesla was willing to give up 5 million yuan from her.
In other words, Tesla has relented in the matter of defamation infringement, and they are willing to reach a compromise with Ms. Zhang, only hoping that Ms. Zhang will withdraw the lawsuit.
But Ms. Zhang firmly rejected the request.
And Ms. Zhang said that this defamation lawsuit is only one of these insignificant ones, and the real key is the case of brake failure, and until the case of brake failure has a fair outcome, Ms. Zhang will never have any compromise.
Fun Star's point of view:
I can call Ms. Zhang a warrior, because it is a very difficult thing for such an individual to fight against a group company with strong financial resources.
Moreover, in the case of defamation infringement, the amount of Tesla's claim is 5 million, which means that if the lawsuit is lost, Ms. Zhang will face a huge compensation of 5 million, and this 5 million is enough to make an ordinary family ruined.
I think there is too little shortage of consumers like Ms. Zhang who can dare to be tough, many times, consumers find that some brands have problems, under the coercion and inducement of these big brands, they often end up with a bang.
It is precisely for this reason that many big brands have become big shop bullies, because they know that with their public relations and other capabilities, they can make the rights defenders disappear.
I hope that more people can raise the banner of rights protection and bravely defend our rights and interests as consumers.
