"Husband and wife drove a Tesla down a mountain road and unfortunately died"
The topic is on the hot search on the Internet
Attracted the attention of netizens
According to reports, on April 27, a husband and wife in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province drove a Tesla Model Y on the way home in an accident, the vehicle rushed down from the winding mountain road, rolled over more than 30 meters before stopping, and the two died after rescue.
The family questioned: "The maximum speed reached 120 km/h, the dash cam data disappeared at the time of the incident, and there were no brake marks at the scene?"
According to Mr. Tang, the cousin of the Tesla owner, the cousin's surname is Tao, 41 years old this year, from Meijiang Town, Lanxi, Jinhua City, and his cousin-in-law is two years younger than his cousin. The Tesla Model Y involved was purchased for 300,000 yuan at the end of last year, and now it has only been driven for about 6 months.
They don't know much about the details of the accident, but the biggest doubt about this accident is that the dashcam did not have any data during the entire incident. The family said that the traffic police told them: "The dashcam data before the accident is complete, but the data is no longer available during the accident, and the specific reason is not clear." ”
To the family's surprise, Mr. Tao's sister received a call from a person claiming to handle Tesla's scrapped vehicles, asking if the car should be sold and he could recycle it.
As for the accident vehicle, the eldest son of Mr. Tao (the late owner) made it clear that there had been several failures before when he made a record in the traffic police team: first, the car summoning function could not be used, and the tires would swing irregularly, and second, the AP assisted driving car would automatically accelerate when the car was turned on, and the car would shake when parked, and the amplitude was very large.
In addition, Mr. Tang also revealed that they learned in the traffic police force that before the accident, the speed of the vehicle once reached 120km/h, "this number shocked the family, how can it be so fast on the winding mountain road". In addition, there were no brake marks at the scene, but there were obvious scratch marks on the side of the road near the mountain.
Mr. Tang said: "There are obvious scratch marks on the side near the mountain, which lasted for about thirty or forty meters, until a right turn corner mark disappeared, and the car also rushed down from here, and the whole process did not have any traces of braking, which is a bit incredible for my cousin, who has 20 years of driving experience." They speculated that the cousin may have tried to stop the car by scraping the hill at the time of the incident, but was unable to prevent the vehicle from rushing off the cliff.
The relevant person in charge of Tesla told reporters that they have paid attention to this accident, and the information of the police is still subject to it. They will provide the necessary support to the police, but it is mainly the police who are handling it, and they are not able to interfere too much.
