A Chinese woman protested against Tesla at a major international auto show in Shanghai. Her loud complaining, which lasted several minutes, attracted considerable attention. The incident prompted China’s state media to launch a flood of criticism of the automaker.
On April 19, the 2021 Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition was rolled out—the first of its kind in the world this year. At the event, a female car owner wearing a white shirt with the words “brake failure” printed in Chinese characters climbed onto the roof of a Tesla and repeatedly shouted, “Tesla’s brakes don’t work!” referring to her involvement in a collision while riding in a Tesla Model 3. Minutes later, she was taken out of the show by security guards.
