After a dream run that saw it receive backing from the highest levels of the Chinese state, Tesla Inc. is getting a reality check, with the automaker coming under fire for how it treats its customers in the world’s largest, and increasingly most competitive, car market.
The Palo Alto, California-based company earlier this week found itself on the pointy end of missives from two government entities, both of which criticized its attitude toward consumer service. The drubbing came after Tesla endured an embarrassing outbreak at the Shanghai Auto Show on Monday, during which the owner of one of its electric cars said she almost died because her car’s brakes failed.

British voters’ attitudes are hardening against the European Union in the wake of the clashes between London and Brussels over coronavirus vaccines that have marked the 100 days since the U.K. completed its divorce from the bloc.
A new Bloomberg poll shows support for Brexit has grown since the historic 2016 referendum, and almost two-thirds of adults believe that being outside the EU helped the U.K.’s vaccination program to succeed.
In the survey of 2,002 people conducted online by JL Partners for Bloomberg, 67% of respondents said the EU has behaved in a “hostile” way toward Britain in the dispute over vaccine supplies. Just 13% said the bloc had acted like an “ally and a friend.”
