On December 8, it was reported that recently, according to Tech Planet, @ Laniakea1188, a blogger who claimed to be a former employee of Tesla, disclosed that he had reported the clue of an important process specification reduction problem in the production process of Shanghai Tesla Model Y to the relevant competent department in real name. From what the informant said, it should be that the model Y produced by the factory has experienced "process shrinkage". However, Tesla officials have not responded yet, and the authenticity of the news is still unknown. Xiaolei will also keep an eye on the development of the event.

According to Xiao Lei, Tesla Model Y is a pure electric SUV launched by Tesla in March 2019. It has become a hot model in the new energy field soon after its launch, and its sales are rising, even becoming the world's best-selling electric vehicle for many consecutive months. It can be seen from this that under the big wave of new energy development, consumers are more inclined to choose electric vehicles from new energy vehicle enterprises like Tesla. However, this incident also triggered a strong discussion among netizens. After all, this problem is not a trivial matter, and it may even lead to potential safety hazards for vehicles.

Recently, Tesla has been trapped in the vortex of public opinion. Previously, many people were worried about Tesla because of Autopilot advertising problems and brake software failures. It can be seen that Tesla, which has strong self research ability, has not yet fully controlled the quality of cars. However, although Tesla's quality issues have become increasingly controversial, the speed of handling them is very timely. Up to now, Tesla has announced six recalls and solved many previously existing safety hazards. But Xiaolei believes that instead of frequent recalls, Tesla would rather make a thorough correction and solve the problem once and for all, which can better restore consumers' trust.

In fact, the quality problem has also led to the gradual disintegration of Tesla's sales advantage. In the first three quarters of this year, Tesla sold 908000 new energy vehicles in total, which is still far from the annual sales target of 1.5 million. However, BYD, an old competitor, has achieved the annual sales target ahead of schedule. Although Tesla has cut prices several times to boost sales, its performance is still not as expected.
Although Tesla has taken the lead in the field of new energy, its product quality and quality control still need to be strengthened. Judging from the accidents and problems that have occurred repeatedly in the past two years, it is obvious that Tesla has not done well enough and needs to continue to work hard in the later period. Tesla needs to pay attention to frequent recalls and quality problems, or it will be easily eliminated by the market.
