A Chinese court has ruled a Tesla Inc. vehicle wasn’t the cause of a 2022 accident that killed two people and injured three others, Shanghai Securities News reported.
The automaker had sued a social media influencer who alleged the crash — which happened in November last year — was caused by a malfunctioning Model Y. A forensics investigations institute ruled out the possibility that the accident was caused by defects in the steering or braking system, according to the report, which cited a court document.
