2. The brief history of Ms. Zhang’s “rights protection” incident at the Shanghai Auto Show

On February 21, 2021, Mr. Zhang, the father of Ms. Zhang’s “rights protection” at the Shanghai Auto Show, gave her family members a ride*** Four people collided with other vehicles while driving along National Highway 341. Later, Tesla 400 customer service called Ms. Zhang. During the communication process, Ms. Zhang reported that she was playing with her mobile phone in the passenger seat at the time. Her father was driving, and she felt that the speed of the car was too fast, which caused the crash. That evening, the traffic police determined that Mr. Zhang was fully responsible for the accident because he failed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

After reviewing and analyzing the vehicle data, we found that the speed of Ms. Zhang’s vehicle before pressing the brake pedal was 118.5km/h. During braking, the ABS, forward collision warning and automatic emergency were working normally. The braking function was activated and worked, and the vehicle speed was successfully reduced to 48.5km/h before the accident. No abnormalities in the vehicle's braking system were found.

Subsequently, we expressed our willingness to actively assist Ms. Zhang in completing vehicle repairs and insurance claims, but she was rejected.

In the early morning of February 22, Ms. Zhang towed the vehicle to the parking space of Henan Shengyirui Automobile Service Co., Ltd.

On February 25, Ms. Zhang put a seal on the vehicle for the first time, prohibiting anyone from touching the vehicle.

On February 27, during the telephone communication between Tesla staff and Ms. Zhang, they provided Ms. Zhang with the background data when the vehicle was involved in the accident. Ms. Zhang also provided Ms. Zhang with the data mentioned in the phone call. The recording is saved. During the communication that day, Ms. Zhang also emphasized many times that no one is allowed to touch the vehicle.

When Tesla staff communicated with Ms. Zhang on March 5, Ms. Zhang believed that Tesla could modify the data at any time, did not trust Tesla’s background data, and resolutely refused to conduct modifications to its vehicles. Any form of detection. That night, after Ms. Zhang went to Henan Shengyirui Automobile Service Co., Ltd. to complete the car pick-up procedures, she forcibly placed the sealed accident vehicle in a parking space outside the entrance of the Tesla Zhengzhou Futa Showroom, saying that she wanted to go through the media and public opinion. Put pressure on Tesla.

On March 6, Ms. Zhang once again stated that she refused any form of vehicle inspection, and requested that the vehicle be returned and compensated for mental losses, medical expenses, and lost work expenses. At Tesla stores, banners that read "Brake Failure" were affixed to the car body, and they attracted attention by pulling banners and using loudspeakers to spread negative remarks about Tesla, affecting the normal operating order of the stores. Tesla staff offered several times to advance the cost of third-party testing, but Ms. Zhang always refused. Because of the great impact of his "rights protection" behavior, police from the local police station were dispatched many times to provide on-site persuasion.

Ms. Zhang mentioned many times that "third-party testing agencies are not recognized", "either the brakes failed or they were faked", "there are too many confusions between right and wrong", and "if you don't return the car, you will find the media to put pressure" wait. When Tesla staff suggested finding a professional testing agency for identification, her husband, Mr. Li, said that they would only accept the test results if they showed brake failure, otherwise they would never recognize the test results. Since then, Ms. Zhang has continued to invite multiple groups of media into the store for interviews and live broadcasts.

On the morning of March 9, the relevant local departments invited Tesla and Ms. Zhang to mediate. Ms. Zhang arrived nearly two hours late with the media who were ready for filming. During the mediation process, Tesla once again expressed its willingness to advance the cost of third-party testing for identification to facilitate the resolution of the problem, but Ms. Zhang still disagreed.

In the end, under the persuasion of the staff of the relevant departments, Ms. Zhang finally agreed to choose a third-party testing agency first, then negotiate the testing matters later and sign a mediation letter. In the afternoon of that day, Ms. Zhang suddenly regretted and made it clear to Tesla staff that she would not accept or recognize any third-party test results, nor would she accept any mediation.

On March 11, Ms. Zhang spoke out through her personal Weibo and disclosed the background data of the vehicle accident that Tesla had previously provided over the phone.

On March 13, Ms. Zhang once again went to the Tesla Zhengzhou Futa store to play Tesla’s negative remarks through a loudspeaker, and spray-painted the words “brake failure” in red paint on the car body. Tesla staff are still actively communicating with Ms. Zhang, trying to find solutions, and negotiating with her husband, Mr. Li, hoping to minimize the impact and help her maximize interests within a reasonable range. Mr. Li made it clear that he was assisted by a "team" from Beijing. When "cooperating" with others, he could only obey when being helped. The "team" claimed that it could help him "wash his name" and satisfy his demands, etc. " "The team" can find another opportunity to meet with Tesla staff for detailed discussions after returning to Beijing.

On March 21, Ms. Zhang once again put a seal on her accident vehicle to deny others access to the accident vehicle.

On April 17, Ms. Zhang towed the accident vehicle to Zhengzhou Huafeng Logistics Automobile Industrial Park, played it through the loudspeaker again, and displayed Tesla's negative content through the vehicle.

At around 12:00 on April 18, Ms. Zhang towed the accident vehicle back to the courtyard of Tesla Zhengzhou Futa Store and parked it until now.

On April 19, Ms. Zhang conducted an aggressive “rights protection” at the Tesla booth at the Shanghai Auto Show. She claimed to be three months pregnant (later confirmed by the police that she was not pregnant).

On the same day, Tesla's customer support department sent an electronically stamped version of the vehicle data 30 minutes before the accident via company email to the personal email address registered by Ms. Zhang when she purchased the car, and sent the sealed paper stamped version of the vehicle data via express delivery. Delivered to the contact address registered by Ms. Zhang when purchasing the car.

Regarding the "rights protection" incident at the Shanghai Auto Show, some netizens provided information indicating that Feng, Han and others were the main organizers and planners of the "rights protection" incident at the auto show.
