A few days ago, the topic of "husband and wife driving a Tesla down the mountain road and unfortunately died" appeared on the hot search on the Internet, attracting the attention of netizens.
According to media reports, three days before the May Day holiday, a couple in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province drove a Tesla Model Y home in an accident, the vehicle rushed down the winding mountain road, and the two died after rescue.
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 at the end of last year and has only been driven for about six months now.
They don't know much about the details of the accident, and the biggest doubt about this accident is that the dashcam did not have any data during the entire incident. "The dash cam data before the accident is complete, but the data is no longer available during the accident, and the specific reason is not clear. ”
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 that before the accident, the speed of the vehicle once reached 120 kilometers per hour, and 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 vehicle by scraping the hill at the time of the incident, but was unable to prevent the vehicle from rushing off the cliff.
Mr. Tang said that after the incident, Tesla's relevant staff rushed to the traffic police team, but only communicated with the police and did not say anything to the family.
What surprised the family even more was that 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.
The relevant person in charge of Tesla told reporters that they have paid attention to this accident, and at present, it is still subject to the information of the police, and they will provide the necessary support to the police, but the main thing is that the police are dealing with it, and it is inconvenient for them to interfere too much.
At present, Tesla has not issued a relevant explanation for the accident, and the follow-up news is subject to the official release.
