The full text of the apology letter:
Dear netizens, I am a party to the Wenzhou Tesla accident on August 12, 2020, and I am also the registrant and controller of the Weibo account "Wenzhou Tesla Out of Control Owner" and the original Douyin account "Wenzhou Tesla Failed Owner".
On the night of the accident, I drove home on the road inside the community and suddenly found that someone appeared in front of me, wanted to step on the brakes, but stepped on the wrong one, used the throttle as a brake, and the vehicle rushed into the parking lot, colliding with the parking lot barrier, multiple vehicles parked, and the isolation fence.
After the accident, although I knew that I had stepped on the accelerator as a brake, I was unwilling, so from mid-August, I continued to fabricate "Tesla automatic acceleration brake failure" and "cherish life away from Tesla" in interviews on Douyin, Weibo, radio and television stations to insult and slander Tesla company and Tesla motors.
My fabricated remarks have been read, forwarded and reported a lot on the Internet, becoming an event with great social influence, and many people have been misled by my remarks, thinking that Tesla Motors really has the problem of accidental automatic acceleration and brake failure, which has caused irreparable and huge losses to the reputation of Tesla and Tesla Motors.
Tesla staff contacted me several times, hoping that I would explain the real situation of the accident to the public, but I ignored it. In the end, Tesla sued me in court, and the case took effect in March this year after the first and second trials. The judgment found that I constituted an infringement of Tesla's reputation and should apologize to Tesla and compensate for economic losses.
During the trial of the case, the judge also criticized and educated me, and popularized the relevant legal provisions and the legal consequences of my actions for me. I now have a clear understanding of the nature of my behavior and regret the significant negative impact on Tesla and Tesla Motors. Here, I sincerely apologize to Tesla and to those who were misled by my remarks.
In addition, during the above-mentioned acts, other self-proclaimed "rights protection" car owners also came to contact me. Mr. Feng, the owner of the Shanghai car, took the initiative to contact me and introduced me to a certain platform, the platform arranged a lawyer for me, all the fees of the first-instance lawyer were paid by this platform, and I myself did not pay any of the first-instance lawyers' fees. Ms. Henan Car Advocate and Tianjin car owner Mr. Han also contacted me. I also joined the group of activist car owners, but later I quit the group because of different ideas. After the second-instance judgment was made, Henan Che's wife invited me to write a joint petition with other car owners, but I refused. Now that I have realized the mistakes of my behavior, I also hope that the majority of netizens can polish their eyes, seek truth from facts, and not be blinded by their own selfishness and the deception of others. I hope that Tesla and the majority of netizens can forgive my behavior, and I hope that everyone can take me as a warning and not make the same mistakes I have made.
