A few days ago, according to domestic media reports, Ms. Dong, a Tesla owner in Nanchang, Jiangxi, reported that she drove a Tesla out because she crushed small stones on the road, and the stone bullet hit the vehicle's air conditioning water pipe and caused failure, and found that the running lights were faulty and could not be accelerated during driving. After testing, it was determined that the battery failure required the replacement of the entire battery pack, and the cost was about 140,000 yuan.

According to the video content, the owner of the car pressed a stone when driving out of the parking lot, and then the stone bounced up just "accurately" hit the water pipe of the air conditioner, suspected of causing condenser liquid to flow to the electrical panel. At the time of the incident, the owner did not get out of the car to check, and after continuing to drive for about 500 meters, the central control screen displayed "activity alarm", including "power has decreased", "coolant level is low" and "dashcam cannot write" text prompts.
In this regard, the owner believes that it may be a "small problem", after continuing to drive for a day, the owner's vehicle was towed by the trailer to Tesla Nanchang direct sheet spray center, after testing, Tesla after-sales personnel said, "The water inside the battery needs to be replaced, and the maintenance price is estimated to be 140,000 yuan." ”

However, such a high repair and replacement cost made it difficult for the owner (Ms. Dong) to accept.
It is understood that the vehicle is currently going through the relevant process. In response to the amount of maintenance costs, Tesla responded, "The battery price accounts for half of the total price of the vehicle, because the battery is relatively important, and its price is officially marked." At the same time, they said, "This is an extreme case and does not represent Tesla's quality problems." ”
Tesla responded that "the battery is relatively important, and its price is officially marked."
This incident sparked heated discussions among netizens, and many netizens shouted "Electric daddy really can't afford to repair it." Among them, there is a view that "Tesla's battery design may be defective or insufficient, resulting in vulnerability to external objects."
For the follow-up progress of this incident, Chedi will continue to pay attention.
