Tesla is angry and will sue tens of millions of fans big V "Little Gang Senior".
According to Sina Auto news, it was learned from a person familiar with the matter that Tesla will officially sue Internet celebrity Chen Zhengang (account name @ Xiaogang Xuechang) today (January 26). As for the reason for the prosecution, according to Tesla, the test data should be falsified.
Sina Auto said that according to the official response of Tesla's relevant departments, there was indeed such a matter, and it officially filed a lawsuit with the court on January 26.
@Xiaogang is an automotive self-media, which currently has 14.62 million fans on Douyin.
On January 26, @Xiaogang posted on Weibo "Okay I know", suspected of responding to this matter.
The big V test video caused controversy, and the doubters: did not do a good script, and the screenwriter buckled the chicken leg
The dispute between Tesla and @Xiaogang xuechang originated from April 29 to 30, 2021, @Xiaogangxue has posted two videos on the Internet called "Use your two cars, do an emergency brake test".
In the video, @Xiaogang conducted an emergency braking function test on the Tesla Model 3 and Xiaopeng P7. The results in the video show that the Xiaopeng P7 wins the Tesla Model 3 in an all-round way.
In the two videos, @Xiaogang installed a 1:1 model standing plate and an inflatable dummy on the lane to test the emergency braking function. In the face of the model standing plate and inflatable dummy, Tesla Model 3 did not successfully brake, Xiaopeng P7 in two tests successfully braked, facing the model standing brake distance of about 90 cm, facing the inflatable dummy is about 30 cm.
"Tesla hit it twice, without any brake reaction." @Xiao gang said in the video. The subtitle commentary shows that the car test did not brake, and the dummy test had brakes but did not brake.
@Xiaogang Senior repeatedly stressed in the video that he did not step on anyone or hold anyone, "These two are my own cars, I just did a simple test and recorded it." ”
But recently, the Douyin account @Xiaoli Feiche posted a number of videos questioning the authenticity of these two videos, allowing things to ferment on social media again.
Since January 19 this year, @Xiaoli Flying Car has successively released a number of videos saying: In the emergency braking comparison video of @Xiaogang Senior, the electric door was stepped on in the test of model 3, questioning the authenticity of the results.
@Xiao Li Feiche said in the video, @ Xiao Gang Senior "Take two cars to test emergency braking (part 1)" video, Tesla Model 3 before crashing into the model license plate, the energy bar of the Model 3 car machine shows that the car still has power output, "He simply does not know, Tesla's screen can show the electric door and kinetic energy recovery status, did not do a good script, the screenwriter buckled the chicken leg." ”
@Xiaogang Senior Posted a response video in the daily life of trumpet @Xiaogang: He believes that tapping the throttle does not affect the emergency braking intervention, and the reason why he clicked on the throttle is to be rigorous and meet the test standard of 50 km /h at that time. "Before the oil collection was too early, the kinetic energy recovery slowed down the speed."
He also admitted that after the first test, there were some mistakes in the conscious operation, so the second test was carried out, and the Model 3 still did not brake the car without the throttle.
But @Xiao Li Feiche is not satisfied with this explanation, he believes that no matter what, @Xiaogang senior should inform netizens in front of the gas pedaling door that this is a "state of stepping on a foot".
It is worth noting that on January 21, Tesla's legal department added @Xiaogang to the Douyin watchlist.
On January 22, @Xiaogang responded to the whole incident. He said that due to the reduction of speed caused by Tesla's kinetic energy recovery during the test, in order to maintain the speed of 50km/h at the test time, he stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed of the car, and for the sake of rigor, a second test was also carried out.
@Xiaogang said that the second test did not step on the accelerator, but the vehicle still failed to brake, "At that time, the first test I felt that there were some operational errors, so the second test was conducted, but the second test in the absence of mistakes, Tesla also identified the dummy and the fake car, the car still did not start the emergency braking." ”
@Xiao Gang said that skeptics always cling to the first test, but avoid the results of the second test. For tesla's legal department's concern about him, @Xiaogang senior expressed his gratitude, "Tesla's legal department's signature 'independent thinking, distinguish between right and wrong' is exactly what I want to say." ”
Late at night on January 25, @Xiaogang responded again that he was currently suffering from "online violence" and had been rumored and touched by other creators.
The "Tesla Legal Department" began to act, suing the owner of the rights protection car for 5 million yuan
Since last year, affected by the rights protection of car owners and many incidents such as brake failures, Tesla has recently been plagued by negative news. On June 1 last year, on Weibo, some netizens found that Tesla had registered the account of "Tesla Legal Department", which was introduced as "independent thinking, distinguishing between right and wrong".
In addition to the Weibo platform, the "Tesla Legal Department" also registered the same account on today's headlines, Douyin and other platforms.
Despite not publishing a single article, the "Tesla Legal Department" has begun to act.
On May 29 last year, today's headline self-media blogger "Five Thousand Years of Rabbit" posted that Tesla's legal department privately sent itself, claiming that the company had filed a lawsuit in the Beijing court, and the blogger could contact the other party to communicate.
