On January 26, @Xiaogang posted on Weibo "Okay I know", suspected of responding to this matter.

The big V test video is controversial

Skeptic: Didn't do a good job of the script

The dispute between Tesla and @Xiaogang originated from April 29 to 30, 2021, when @Xiaogangxue released two videos titled "Use your own two cars to do an emergency brake test" on the Internet.

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 repeatedly stressed in the video that he did not step on anyone or hold anyone.

"Both of these are my own cars, and I just did a simple test and recorded them."

But recently, the Douyin account @ Xiao Li Feiche

Post multiple videos

Question the authenticity of the two videos

Let things ferment on social media again

Since January 19 this year, @Xiao Li Feiche has successively released a number of videos saying: In the emergency brake comparison video of @Xiao Gang, he stepped on the electric door in the test of Model 3 and questioned 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." ”

Subsequently, @Xiaogang released a response video in the daily life of S@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 standards 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

On January 21, Tesla's legal department

The Douyin number is on the watchlist

Added @ Xiao Gang Senior

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 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." ”

Notably, last August

Tesla has also sued a car owner

Violation of their right to reputation

The total claim is $5.05 million

Tesla filed a total of four lawsuits:

1. Order the defendant to immediately stop the infringing act and immediately delete all infringing content published on the Sina Weibo platform and all comments and replies related to the infringing content;

2. A statement ordering the owner of the car, Han Chao, to apologize to the two plaintiffs on his personal Weibo for 30 days and eliminate the adverse effects;

3. Ordered Han Chao to compensate the two plaintiffs for economic losses of 5 million yuan;

4. Ordered the defendant to bear the reasonable rights protection expenses of the two plaintiffs of 50,000 yuan, with a total claim of 5.05 million yuan.

According to reports, in June 2019, Han Chao purchased a Tesla Model S model through Tesla's official certification. After that, Han Chao commissioned a motor vehicle forensic appraisal agency to test the vehicle, and found that there were cutting and welding marks on the rear side of the vehicle, which was identified as an accident car. Han Chao took Tesla to court on the grounds that tesla was selling the accident used cars and that there was sales fraud.

The court ruled in the first instance that Tesla was a sales fraud, and according to the relevant provisions of the Consumer Rights law, "one refund and three losses" was refunded to the owner Han Chao of more than 1.51 million yuan. Tesla appealed, and on September 17 last year, the court upheld the original judgment of the first instance in the second instance.
