On May 30th, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Rights Defender announced the first instance verdict on the dispute over the reputation rights of Ms. Zhang. The poster news reporter learned from Tesla that the Qingpu District People's Court in Shanghai has made a judgment: Ms. Zhang, who climbed onto the roof of the car at the Shanghai Auto Show, has been found to have infringed on Tesla's reputation rights and should apologize to Tesla and compensate 170000 yuan. In addition, automotive media person Feng also faces the verdict of apologizing to Tesla and compensating 250000 yuan.
Judgment
According to the evaluation report issued by the judicial evaluation agency, the Shanghai Auto Show incident caused Tesla to suffer direct losses of over 170 million yuan in orders and tens of millions of yuan in goodwill. After this incident, there were several accidents where car owners claimed to have "brake failure", and the final appraisal results made by professional appraisal agencies showed that the cause of the accident was not related to the Tesla vehicle itself.
On the afternoon of May 30th, the poster news reporter contacted Ms. Zhang multiple times, but as of the time of publication, no response has been received.
Previously, at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, Ms. Zhang, wearing a T-shirt with the Tesla logo and the words "brake failure", stormed into the Tesla booth on Media Day, climbed onto the roof of the Tesla exhibition car, and shouted "Tesla brake failure".
