Speeding Tesla kills 2 in China, carmaker denies claims that brakes failed

[BHAN85]

First, most Teslas were built in China, second, Chinese high rank people never use Teslas

Hongqi L5, Chinese car that costs twice the price of Rolls-Royce Phantom, one of the most expensive cars in the world February 25, 2022 By Theodore Opara Would you ever imagine that a Chinese vehicle would ever rival a Rolls-Royce or post a higher price tag? I know you don’t. But the reality...

It's literally a death risk use new modern Western cars. No matter where they are built, as they use electronic components designed in the twisted west, plenty of backdoors.

And I'm not talking about errors, I talk about remotely hacking and cybersabotages.

Upload remotely firmware update and **** off the car and the driver.

Cheap and clean. 99% of police officers couldn't understand how that kind of killing can be made, so even it wont be investigated.

please follow your own advise, the brake lights also come on when you take your foot off the gas pedal in a Tesla.

If you release the accelerator when the vehicle is running at low speed, the brake light will indeed light up. However, when the vehicle is running at high speed, the brake light will not light up when the accelerator is released.

I have driven a Tesla Y. And more importantly, I had been folllowing a Tesla Y, you can't see your own brake light when you are driving. And His brake light is not on for the first 8 seconds when he was supposedly park.

This is how Tesla Y Brake Light Work

When the Brake is on, the light in Yellow Circle is flashed Red. And the brake light is briger in red than the Instrument Light.

Now the First 8 second of the video

Beside 0:01 which I can't say for 100% sure the brake light was not on, tell me on which second the brake light was on??

I don't know whether you had even driven before, even with the gear stuck on P, it won't accelerate, that's true with both Tesla or a normal car, in a normal car, if brake was NOT applied, the car will slow to a stop but will not accelerate. In Tesla if a Tesla is on P and no brake applies, the car will arrest and will stop quicker than a normal car because Tesla uses regenerative braking, which anyone had driven a Tesla knows it's like you tab the brake. It's does not matter whether the bar is on, because when you brake, both brake light should also be on, not on mean no braking, and you can see from the video the vehicle in question either did not have that braking bar on top or it was not on.

On the other hand, the COA of this accident is clearly the car speeding out of control, that mean one way or another, the throttle is left on, as I said, braking has no effect on the car being accelerated. unless you are talking about that car is on a long stretch of downward slope, which I don't see it. Which mean the COA should be throttle jammed either by mechanical fault or software malfunction. Brake fail would not make a car accelerate. Which mean as I point out, it's an odd thing to say by the driver. May be the brake failed on a separate issue, I don't know, but looking at this incident, and the normal driver response would be "The car can't/won't stop accelerating" not the car can't brake, because you can see it pick up quite a lot of speed before it crash.

And as I said, wait for the official report or Tesla release the driver data. We don't know what caused this accident. I am just pointing out what the driver say is odd.

I don't know why you are getting very defensive on this. First of all, Tesla is not even classed at Luxury Vehicle in Australia, it's priced at 70,000 to 90,000 which mean even people on minimum wage (which is A$1100 a week) could afford a Tesla because most dealer offer a 5 years low interest repayment plan. And unfortunately one of my cousin drive a Tesla Y probably the same year as the one in this accident, and I have the unfortunate duty to be his designated driver when he is out drinking, and he drink a lot. On the other hand, as a Crime Against Person detective, I have to investigate any traffic accident resulting in bodily harm, I have been in hundred if not thousand of Traffic Accident and invested them through out my career, do you have any investigative experience on MTA??

The light highlight in yellow (the Brake Light) would still be on. Whether or not the high bar is on.


I did not troubleshoot anything. I commented on the verifiable fact of whatever happened in the video and what the driver said in response to the video.

As for what caused the car to react like in the video? I don't know, as I said, I wouldn't comment on that until Tesla released the driver data or the police completed the report. If you can trust the cop.

At the beginning of the video, the car obviously wants to stop.

In fact, the brake light of a normal Tesla will light up when it is parked (I suggest you Google other Tesla parking videos to see if what I said is correct).

The brake light of this car is not on, which just means that it has a problem at this time. After that, the vehicle suddenly accelerated, and its brake light came on because the driver was using P gear to save himself.

Fatal Tesla Model Y crash investigation finds accelerator engaged in viral video

An investigation into a fatal Tesla Model Y crash in China has revealed that the EV's accelerator was pressed in its ill-fated final drive.

Fatal Tesla Model Y crash investigation finds accelerator was pressed in viral video​

An investigation into a fatal Tesla Model Y crash in Chaozhou, China has revealed that the electric car’s accelerator was pressed during its ill-fated final drive. The Model Y in the incident was caught on video accelerating out of control for about two kilometers before crashing. The event killed two people and injured three.

As recently shared by industry watchers in China, the analysis of data from the ill-fated Model Y had been completed. As per the investigation, the vehicle’s accelerator was pressed 100% the entire time. The Model Y’s brakes were off as well.

The tragic event, which happened last November, surrounded Tesla China with some controversy. Videos of the vehicle posted online showed the all-electric crossover driving out of control before meeting its untimely end. A family member of the Model Y’s driver later claimed to local media that the vehicle’s brake pedal was unresponsive, and the Tesla still ran at full speed despite the driver trying to shift to Park.

Tesla China denied the family member’s claims, noting that data from the ill-fated Model Y showed that the accelerator pedal was depressed deeply during the incident. Tesla stated that the Park button was indeed pressed during the vehicle’s final drive four times, but only briefly. Previous tests from Tesla owners indicated that pressing Park for an extended period of time while the vehicle is in motion would stop the car.

While Tesla China has a pretty good record when it comes to determining details from its crashed vehicles, the company’s statement following the fatal Model Y crash was challenged on social media. This was because the driver in the incident reportedly used to be a truck driver, and authorities noted that the driver was not under the influence of alcohol or other substances.

Fortunately, an analysis of the incident has shown that Tesla China’s statement was ultimately accurate.

A lot of Tesla defender try to claim it's owner stepping on wrong pedal in panic. But how can u step on it for so long if it's a mistake?

Because of driver ineptitude

From the footage is clear that is not the driver's fault, he is trying his best not to crash his expensive car.

It's definitely a faulty car.

Nope the Chinese investigators say it is clearly the driver's fault as he had his foot on the gas pedal.
