The Consumers’ Foundation yesterday urged a recall of Tesla vehicles manufactured in 2019 to repair a battery defect that causes sudden power outages, sometimes while driving.
Of the 5,819 electric vehicles sold in Taiwan in 2020, the top three models were all made by the US firm, the foundation said.
Owing to repeated battery issues, 338 owners formed a self-help organization to seek redress and approached the foundation with their complaints.
A survey by the organization found that most issues were found in Model X and Model S vehicles made between the end of 2018 and 2019, foundation secretary-general Hsu Tse-yu (徐則鈺)
