The Shanghai Auto Show became the site of a demonstration by an irate Model 3 driver, who accuses Tesla of installing defective brakes in her vehicle.The Tesla owner says that her Model 3's brakes broke, almost killing four of her family members in an accident. Tesla, on the other hand, stated that data from the vehicle shows that the braking and driver assistance systems were operational during the accident and that the speed before braking was approximately 120 km/h.
The owner went to Tesla's booth at the Shanghai Auto Show and climbed on top of a Model 3 demonstration car while wearing a T-shirt with the words "Brake Lost Control" written in Chinese, a scene that was posted on social media. The woman was soon confronted by security guards, who attempted to conceal her message by using umbrellas.
