On May 17, a Tesla car in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, hit two traffic police officers who were handling a traffic accident at the scene of the viaduct, causing injuries to two traffic police officers, one of whom was in serious condition. The news immediately hit Weibo hot search. A mainland netizen said: the media reported so many Tesla “accident”, has not yet determined that a brake failure. What does this mean? It means that our public opinion field is very deep!
According to mainland media reports, on May 17, Zhejiang Taizhou. A Tesla car passing through the bridge Luoyang street 104 west of the viaduct, collided with the traffic police who were dealing with traffic accidents at the scene, resulting in two traffic police officers were injured. At present, the two injured are being rescued in hospital, one of the injuries are more serious.
Some mainland netizens believe that the current mainland media reports are suspected of carrying the wind: “I hope that other cars have problems.
“I hope that other cars out of trouble also comes with a name. The recent electric car spontaneous combustion accidents have not mentioned the name of the manufacturer. It feels like there is a problem with the direction of public opinion now.”
“People’s problems have to be pulled, as if other brands of cars do not hit people. The first two days the car dragged the traffic police away how not to say which brand it is? The title party has won again!”
“See Tesla again. The first impression is: Tesla again ‘accident’, brake failure again? I dare say that the successive ‘accidents’ of Tesla that the media has concentrated on since then are certainly not due to Tesla. Does Tesla really have quality problems? There are traffic accidents every day, just that the media did not deliberately add the brand of the vehicle when reporting. But Tesla is different, the Shanghai rights incident is so big, Tesla this hot word, can earn traffic ah. Therefore, the media is not willing to miss every traffic accident report of Tesla. You want to sue the media for slander, it’s not really possible to talk about, people did not say it was Tesla’s problem, it was purely the ‘conjecture’ of the onlookers who were secretly led out.”
Other netizens shared some data to confirm the reliability of Tesla cars: “Recently, any incident about Tesla in China has been reported by the media, and this phenomenon also appears in the United States. According to the American media person ‘Jim Hall’, a set of data on the number of traffic deaths in 2020 shows that the death rate of Tesla brand cars is only 0.019% for every 1,000 cars sold in three years. Much lower than the death rate of Mitsubishi, Ford, Buick and other car companies. Among them, the accident fatality rate of Dodge cars is 31.5 times that of Tesla, and Honda cars are 18 times that of Tesla. Media coverage has gone in the opposite direction. Tesla-related accidents (fatal accidents) accounted for 95% of the coverage of all brands, while other brands with more fatal accidents accounted for only 5% of the coverage. Despite the recent out-of-control accidents and negative news about Tesla, Tesla has had only single-digit accident fatalities in China for the past five years. With the current domestic ownership of over 200,000 Teslas, the death rate is indeed very low.”
The video released by netizens shows that on May 17, a black Tesla sedan hit 2 traffic policemen on an overpass of a section of highway in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province. The Tesla sedan was parked on the viaduct with its front end damaged and deformed. One traffic police officer was lying on the back side of the Tesla, and the other was lying about seven or eight meters in front of the Tesla. 2 traffic police officers were motionless.
Comments from mainland netizens.
“If the car is really a problem, the trouble to come up with evidence before sentencing Tesla’s crime, there is no media to bring less rhythm. This day day how so many rabble!”
“As long as it is Tesla, it will be marked, did not see other cars write the brand of the car? Really is the TM target, obviously the driver’s problem, bias to pull the car problem. Day after day brush microblogging hot search, and thought that the world only Tesla will be accident. “
“Personally, I think Tesla accidents do count more. After all, the domestic Tesla is basically a new car. At present, despite selling a lot more than in previous years, but the country together, the most a month only sold about 20,000 units. And there are about 300 million motor vehicles in the country. Tesla accounts for a very small percentage, only one thousandth of the order of magnitude. In other words, considering that not all traffic accidents are on the news, and Tesla sales are so small. A Tesla with 1 life a month and in the news is already a bit outrageous – either the news exposure is really high, or the Tesla is really unsafe.”
“The result of the crowd media agenda setting…Tesla is again amplified by the media and directed to the primary concern of the audience…so no matter what the cause of the accident is…once Tesla comes out it will take the blame, of course Tesla has no PR, it’s awesome no PR needed, it’s also quite special. “
“Although not like Tesla, but now so reported bad. In the absence of any evidence, highlight a brand is not a set of traffic, and finally became as long as the accident are bad brakes, the country so many traffic accidents how not to mention the model? This is different from the year repeatedly BMW hit people, BMW owners how to how?”
“In fact, the briefing are narrated very plainly, while the hot search but with ‘Tesla’, in fact, the news title hot search this tendency (especially has not been verified), in public opinion innately as a business is very passive …… This is certainly not a defense of Tesla, Tesla can replace the name of other cars at will, but if the real replacement may not reach the effect of the news intended for such headlines.”
“Targeted murder, this is just a small test of Tesla,. It recognizes which are the important people, is the remote control killer.”
