According to a report published by CnEVPost and Teslarati, a Tesla owner has apologized admitting that he made up the information about brake failure in his car to discredit the automaker. He also said that he accidentally pushed the accelerator pedal rather than the brake pedal, resulting in a braking failure. He said that back in August 2020, the owner named Chen lost control and hit a whole line of cars before being able to stop. He even posted video clips in an attempt to show that the Tesla Model 3 was not only failing to brake but also suddenly accelerating on its own.

China is one of the largest markets for Tesla. The auto company has already established a Gigafactoiry in China, which caters to both the Chinese market and other overseas markets as well. In such a situation, this revelation from the Tesla owners comes as a relief.
