A woman in China sued Tesla after complaining of faulty brakes — now she’s paying Tesla $23K


A report claims that Tesla has sued "at least" six car owners in China over the past four years after complaining about mechanical issues.

As per an investigation by the Associated Press(AP), Tesla has won a defamation lawsuit against one individual called Zhang Yazhou, who in February 2021 was a passenger in a Tesla Model 3 car that allegedly crashed due to faulty brakes, resulting in a four-day hospital stay for both her parents. While Zhang continues to appeal the outcome, Tesla — under growing pressure — finally released telemetry data from her car, which apparently showed that the brakes had functioned as intended. Additionally, the report said that Tesla has sued “at least six bloggers and two Chinese media outlets” that have written critically about the company.
