Electrek has now updated that article saying "the police denied targeting only Tesla vehicles." Tesmanian also reported "Local police, upon request, confirmed that Tesla vehicles were
not prohibited from driving on the highway."
The news came after concern when a protestor at the Shanghai Auto Show climbed on top of a Tesla Model 3 to bring awareness to the car's faulty brakes. Soon after, social media posts showed Tesla cars pulled over on the highway, and larger safety and regulatory concerns began swirling. These claims were also debunked by Tesla.
China Market Supervision News, as covered by Tesmanian, shared data from Tesla about the vehicle involved in the crash. The logs show the vehicle was traveling 73 mph, well over the posted limit in the area. The father of the protestor, who was involved in the crash, was "found guilty" by police, according to China Market Supervision News.
