As you may remember, Tesla was up against a host of claims related to brake failure in China. In fact, one person protested at an auto show, which seemed to start the ball rolling. After that, several people claimed their Tesla vehicles failed to brake, which resulted in accidents. The situation became so dire that Tesla's cars were banned from certain areas for safety concerns.
Since then, Tesla has gone after the accusers for spreading misinformation. According to the company, the brakes in its cars were not the issue, but rather, operator error. Some Tesla owners in China have already issued public apologies after admitting they made up the stories. In addition, others in the media and on social media have apologized for spreading the misinformation.
