Tesla, which has contributed greatly to the start of the electric motor automotive revolution with its work so far, is on the agenda with some interesting claims in China, one of the countries it serves. So much so that the company is quite uncomfortable with the reactions due to the complaints produced and released in its factory in China. There are even some lawsuits filed by Tesla for Chinese customers. Let’s take a look at this interesting issue together.
In an important statement made a short time ago, Tesla announced that it had recalled more than 20 thousand Model Ys produced in China. This was because the steering knuckle was not as strong as it should have been. However, the latest developments reveal that Tesla owners in China are also suffering from different problems. However, the Tesla front argues that most of these problems are not caused by them.
All shares on the Internet are under the scrutiny
Court documents accessed by Bloomberg Businessweek revealed that Tesla has filed a defamation lawsuit against at least two people in China. Moreover, anonymous sources confirmed these cases and claimed that the events were much broader than that. According to the information obtained, Tesla’s lawyers in China have scrutinized all the shares on China’s social media Weibo and other websites. In fact, lawyers ask the owners of the posts to remove the content, otherwise they state that they will go to court.
According to Bloomberg Businessweek, which also provides information on the content of the lawsuits filed by Tesla, one of the lawsuits is worth approximately $800,000. According to a customer’s claim, Tesla sold a used and even heavily maintained vehicle as brand new. While the customer claims that this is fraudulent, Tesla denies the allegations. In another case, a customer named Zhang Yazhou claims his Model 3 was involved in an accident due to problems with its braking system. While the man named Yazhou displayed the crashed Model 3 with banners on it, Tesla argues that these claims are unfounded.
The reason why Tesla took such a harsh stance is what happened in the past. Because the company trusts itself too much. For example, there is another customer who suffered the same fate as Zhang Yazhou. Faced with a customer named Chen Junyi, Tesla managed to prove that there was no problem in the braking system of Junyi’s Model 3, and that the traffic accident was caused by user error. Engineers appointed by an independent inspection agency could not detect any technical faults in the brake system of the vehicle involved in the accident. . .
Tesla, which is on the agenda of China, caused reactions throughout the country. Many argue that the company is trying to hide the criticism by coming out so harshly. Others think that the cooperation between the Chinese government and Tesla allows Tesla to sue so easily. It is not known where the events will end, but the Chinese opposition to Tesla will of course harm Tesla himself the most.
