Because the overall situation is very shocking, the owner's tweet has attracted a lot of attention, some sympathetic, some supportive, but also questioning.
Tesla modification big V Jason Hughes commented: In the subsequent video released by the owner, the warning prompt on the center console has nothing to do with the steering wheel, and the steering wheel will not fall off on its own without warning. If the steering wheel bracket is loose, then it should be an increase of 1 inch of open space, not a straight drop.
He also said that even if the bolts were not installed, the steering wheel would still be fixed to the splines and could be controlled, so he thought the whole thing was "Faked" (deceptive) and not enough to convince people of authenticity.
Some netizens also supported the big V's view, saying that the Twitter account of the owner of the car that exposed the problem was registered in 2015, and there was no other news except this incident.
However, such speculation has also caused more opposition, some people say that there was a large-scale recall in 2018 because the steering wheel was loose or completely off, so it is not completely impossible for this kind of thing to happen to Tesla.
It is worth noting that in 2020, there was also a Tesla owner who said that the Model 3, which he bought for only 1 month, fell off when reversing.
At present, how true this matter has moved in the direction of Rashomon, perhaps it can only be handed over to the official response.
