Tesla Model Y owner's compensation dispute after vehicle fire

TapTechNews June 19th news, according to the report of the Living Help column of the Life Channel of Shandong Radio and Television Station on June 11th, a Tesla Model Y owner reported to it that after his vehicle caught fire, when Tesla officially compensated him, it also required to sign an agreement, which he found it difficult to accept.

The owner introduced that his Model Y was just bought for about half a year. On the evening of February 5th, the vehicle suddenly caught fire when parked by the roadside, and the entire vehicle was burned down, and the personal items worth about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan ($4,200 - $5,600) in the vehicle were also burned.

Subsequently, the report issued by the fire department showed that the possible cause of the fire may be the electrical failure of the plug-in connector of the vehicle's steering integrated circuit board that triggered the fire. The owner said that Tesla was willing to compensate him 30,000 yuan ($4,200) for the personal items in the vehicle, but it had to sign an agreement, and he failed to reach an agreement with the Tesla side.

And in the content of this agreement, Tesla requires him to delete the video, photos and voice materials sent to the media in this fire accident. The owner said he couldn't do it. Currently, Tesla and the owner side have not reached a consensus.

On June 14th, the Living Help column followed up and reported on the follow-up of this event. The staff of the Tesla Experience Center in Jinan promised to reply within three days, but there has been no response later and the relevant person in charge has not appeared.
