Tesla is "haunted", what's going on?

When it comes to Tesla, everyone always loves and hates.

Recently, something very "supernatural" happened to Tesla.

According to the Southern Metropolis Daily, on the evening of April 27, Ms. Zheng, the owner of the Tesla in Chengdu, Sichuan, found that the tesla model 3 central control screen she was driving failed.

After pressing the restart button, the car stereo suddenly emitted a poignant female voice, "I died so unjustly."

This sentence can frighten the mother and daughter sitting on the car, and immediately abandon the car and flee.

After seeing the news, even if the fox sister did not believe in ghosts and gods, she was also frightened by this "supernatural" incident and her back was cold...

What exactly happened to this Tesla that night?

Tesla is "haunted", what's going on?

Where did the weird female voice come from

Let the fox sister tell you about the incident first.

According to the owner, Ms. Zheng, she purchased the Tesla MODEL 3 in January 2021.

Before the "supernatural" event, the car was normal and there was no major problem.

But on April 27, Ms. Zheng said that when she was driving to work, the volume in the car suddenly turned on to its maximum, and when it was turned down, it would suddenly become larger, and it happened about 3 times in 10 minutes.

I thought it was just the volume that went wrong, but then other strange problems followed.

Sometimes on the control screen in the vehicle, the air conditioning panel will automatically open or close repeatedly;

Sometimes an APP will be opened automatically and will be operated automatically;

Sometimes the navigation map turns on automatically and zooms in or out automatically.

At 9 p.m. that night, when Ms. Zheng was driving on the road, Tesla automatically opened the "Himalaya" APP again and played a historical story.

Ms. Zheng thought that there was a problem with the system, so she called Tesla customer service and was told to restart the vehicle.

After that, Ms. Zheng returned to the community to restart the vehicle, but she did not expect that a desolate female voice suddenly appeared in the car: "I died so unjustly." ”

Who hears this can not afford goosebumps ah...

So, at noon on April 28, Ms. Zheng called Tesla's customer service again.

Subsequently, the customer service reply may be that there is a problem with the car screen, because the background detects that this screen has a large number of clicks in a short period of time.

At the same time, they found that on the evening of April 27, Ms. Zheng's Tesla Himalaya APP had played an audio called "Evil Heart".

Coincidentally, the time this audio was played just right for tesla's "haunted" time...

So the question is, is this audio at work?

It is reported that the audio is labeled "Urban Obsession Sadomasochism", which also specially marked a small tip in the first episode: "The beginning is a little scary, the little heart is ready."

And 8 seconds after clicking on the audio, the sentence "I died so wrong."

Good guys, it turns out that this sentence is the content of this car audio...

In the afternoon of the same day, Ms. Zheng arrived at the Tesla 4S store for vehicle maintenance, and the store replaced the central control touch screen for Ms. Zheng free of charge.

However, this matter also leaves a suspicious point.

Ms. Zheng usually subscribes to the content in the APP is basically educational or financial information, and has not been exposed to supernatural content.

So, why did the horror reading suddenly play in the car that day?

Tesla is "haunted", what's going on?

In response to this question, Tesla staff said that because the dashcam will automatically overwrite the previous content every hour without manual saving, it is now impossible to view the specific situation at that time.

The Himalaya APP side said that the Himalaya client on Tesla Motors was developed by Tesla, and Himalaya will not be pushed on Tesla Motors.

However, they will also feedback the situation to Tesla and optimize it together.
