Lin Zhiying's father and son had a car accident, and tesla's entire car caught fire.
A short topic sparked a heated discussion.
Lin Zhiying is a singer we know well, and she is also an excellent racing driver, and her driving skills naturally have nothing to say.
Tesla as a leader in new energy vehicles, brands want to replicate it, but they can't surpass it.
Now the two are bumping together, sparking a strong controversy: What does this mean? Professional car players have accidents, not the problem of driving technology, but the problem of the car itself.
According to the Taiwan media "ETtoday News Cloud" reported that on July 22, a serious car accident occurred on Zhongzheng North Road in Taoyuan City, a white Tesla lost control and hit the railing and caught fire, the scene of the fire was fierce, and the front of the car fell into a sea of fire.
After the police confirmed and verified, Tesla was Lin Zhiying's father and son inside.
Lin Zhiying suffered a serious head injury, his face was full of blood when he was rescued, stuck in the car, and he could not speak for a while, and the son of the co-pilot was abrasion on the face, and after being rescued, he was sent to the hospital for treatment, and the cause of the accident was further confirmed.
Two messages were read from the report:
1. Tesla lost control and crashed into the railing, causing a car accident.
2. Do not exclude the driver's own reasons.
Regarding the cause of the car accident, the police responded that Lin Zhiying was tested for breath alcohol concentration, and his alcohol test value was 0, and there was no drunk driving.
The biggest hidden danger has been eliminated, and the next investigation should start from others, other things, and other cars.
Lin Zhiying's driving skills are well known, but the grasp of speed between professional racing drivers and ordinary drivers is not the same.
Lin Zhiying once had a car accident that led to a cervical vertebral displacement lumbar fracture, and the doctor gave him an ultimatum "Don't open again", but he himself didn't care much about saying: "Often drive and often bump, bump into the habit later."
Therefore, some people speculate whether his pursuit of "speed" led to the unexpected appearance, and subsequently, the relevant pictures were also exposed.

From the monitor footage exposed by the Taiwan media, it can be seen that Lin Zhiying drove the Tesla first slowly to turn around at the intersection, and then continued to drive forward.
Finally, at the intersection in front of the road for unknown reasons, suddenly deviate from the lane and hit the indicator pole to eliminate the reason for driving too fast.
So the biggest focus in addition to the injuries of Lin Zhiying's father and son is the vehicle itself.
First, why the car is out of control; The second is that the car is Tesla, so it will get out of control.
Tesla customer service said on the 22nd that the cause of the fire is not clear, but the body does not have a particularly easy material to catch fire.
In the past two years, Tesla accidents have occurred frequently, and the search for Tesla out of control events, dense results, a page is difficult to turn to the end.
It Times spent a month interviewing 20 Tesla owners across the country, and the accidents were mostly similar. Most of the car owners recalled the description of the car condition at the time of the accident, including "vehicle out of control", "brake failure", "sudden acceleration of the car", and even 8 kilometers.

In this regard, Tesla claimed that the driver had been stepping on the accelerator plate, and never mentioned the quality of the car.
Tesla's tactic is to be a selectively deaf person, because he knows that consumers are also willing to be a person without an internet memory.
Although Tesla is exposed every year that the vehicle is out of control, there are still a large number of car owners who choose to buy Tesla.
On the one hand, because the oil price is now rising seriously, adding a barrel of oil is dozens of times more expensive than before, and the owners of fuel vehicles have complained bitterly, and the charging cost of new energy vehicles is lower than that of refueling.
On the other hand, it is policy-oriented, the purchase of new energy vehicles can generally enjoy preferential taxes and fees, the price of buying a car is cheaper, and the license plate of fuel vehicles in some areas needs to be shaken, and new energy vehicles are easier to be licensed.
Now there are also many brands in China doing new energy, such as BYD Han, Qin, Tang, etc., Wuling MINI, Xiaopeng Automobile, Weilai Automobile, etc., but the Chinese people are still willing to rush to buy Tesla.
The reason is that Tesla's electronic control technology is very good, in the battery recession and battery life display has advantages, followed by the brand's international influence, the same budget, the performance of the same vehicle, users are of course willing to choose Tesla, one to have a face, the second can use Tesla's own charging station.
For new energy vehicles, power supply is life, Tesla has a dedicated charging station, to solve the consumption problem of new energy vehicle owners, is an important reason to attract user consumption.
Last night, Tesla soared nearly 10%, and the operating income of Tesla's automotive business in the second quarter was $14.6 billion, an increase of 43% year-on-year, and the proportion of revenue reached 86.3%. According to the data, Tesla is the most short-selling stock in the world, and the short position accounts for nearly 3% of the number of outstanding shares. S3 Partners estimates that Thursday's gains alone cost these investors more than $1 billion, up from $2.67 billion this month.
This node broke out of the car accident, or has a star effect of professional racing driver Lin Zhiying, if you find out that the cause of the accident is a vehicle quality problem, I don't know if it will affect Tesla's revenue next quarter.

From an objective point of view, the loss of control of new energy vehicles is not the reason for a certain brand. It is a common problem in the industry as it explores and moves forward.
There are only two reasons for the vehicle's loss of control: the vehicle is out of control and the brakes are failed.
In the first half of the year, Weilai new car test, during the test, the vehicle had a problem and suddenly accelerated, the test driver stepped on the brakes but did not work, and finally lost control and broke through the fence and glass surface and rushed out.
At that time, the official explanation was that this was an accident (not caused by a vehicle), which was reasonable but unreasonable, but the question was not clear for the time being.
Previously, Ideal, Xiaopeng and BYD have been exposed to safety problems such as battery fire, brake failure, and automatic driving failure many times, and the cause of the accident is still under investigation.
Brands don't want to look it up? Brands don't want to solve the problem? Brands don't want to avoid accidents? The answer is yes.
However, the current lack of technical mastery of new energy vehicles is a fact, Tesla as a new energy leader has not yet broken through this problem, and domestic brands have a long way to go.
