Tesla went down to the next city and won another lawsuit.
The verdict of Tesla's lawsuit against a driver of a driving platform for reputation infringement was announced, and the court ruled:
The defendant driver apologized to the plaintiff Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. on the account used on the Douyin platform and its WeChat circle of friends within 10 days from the effective date of the judgment, and continued for not less than 30 days, and compensated the plaintiff for economic losses and reasonable expenses for rights protection totaling 20,000 yuan.
Cause of the incident
At last year's Shanghai Auto Show, the Tesla brand was "exploded" on the Internet after being defended by the roof. Subsequently, many people in the society made moves to support rights protection, among which on April 20, 2021, the defendant Changsha Shenzhou substitute driver and micro-driving platform driver made a large advertising poster in the local area and posted it in a commercial center in Changsha.
According to the advertising pictures at the time, the advertising poster was written in a prominent position, "Tesla, NO for you to drive", "because of Tesla brake quality problems", "to maintain the life safety of the driver", "refuse to provide driving services for Tesla brand cars". In the lower right corner of the promotional page, it is displayed as "Shenzhou Driving Changsha Operation Company" and "Micro-Driving Changsha Branch".
After the advertisement was posted, the company's driver posted the advertisement photo on WeChat and Douyin, and then was widely forwarded and disseminated by various media and netizens. Before the results of the accident were announced, they posted advertisements with the keyword "brake quality problems" to mislead the public, and then Tesla sued them in court.
Tesla has sued big V and car owners continuously
Recently, Tesla has also begun to "settle accounts after the autumn", suing many internet celebrities, media and even their own owners in court.
Just before the Spring Festival, the Vibrato big V "Xiaogang Elder Oh" deliberately smeared Tesla's content due to the video of Tesla and Xiaopeng vehicle active braking comparison before, and then after a large number of network forwards, Tesla was sued for defamation by the information network.

Longer before, Tesla has sued the "Wenzhou Tesla brake out of control owner" and the Tianjin Tesla owner in court. The former still insisted that "Tesla's brakes failed" after a third party issued a "report that the vehicle did not have its own failure", and then the latter sued the court, and the owner was sentenced to apologize to Tesla and compensate 50,000 yuan. After receiving Tesla's compensation of one loss and three compensation, the Tianjin car owner was also countersued in court due to a large number of insults and slanders on Weibo, and demanded 5.05 million yuan in compensation.

If you count the most controversial "Henan female driver case" last year, Tesla currently has a number of controversial cases in its hands that are going through legal procedures.
Write at the end
The Internet is not illegal, and there should also be stronger supervision and accountability measures for the quality of cars. The media need to keep in mind professional ethics, car owners also expect reliable third-party institutions to protect their rights and interests, and finally enterprises should touch their conscience to make money.
