A few days ago, some netizens broke the news in the Tesla car friends group that their Tesla had a brake failure incident on the airport second highway. Tesla officials responded to this: the owner mistakenly stepped on the accelerator pedal.
The owner of the car said that his Tesla automatically accelerated to 170km/h at the airport highway without any warning, and after the brakes failed, he rear-ended four cars in a row, fortunate that he "picked up a life". The owner also stressed that the brakes at that time were very soft and did not react at all.
Tesla responded to this that the owner was contacted for details at the first time on the day of the incident, through multi-party comparison and analysis, and communication with the owner himself to verify that the incident was caused by the driver accidentally stepping on the accelerator pedal. Tesla said that it has assisted car owners in the vehicle insurance claim process with the approval of car owners. At the same time, Tesla also reminds drivers and friends that during the driving process, if they encounter unexpected situations, please stay calm and control the vehicle correctly.
