US electric car maker Tesla s response over a high-profile consumer complaint on late Monday has been ill received by some Chinese netizens, with many calling the company s response as cocky.
Tesla was under media limelight on Monday at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition when a woman jumped onto a Tesla car on display, wearing a T-shirt printed with Tesla s brake failure and screaming in front of a bewildered crowd. The woman was forcibly removed from the Tesla booth and is now under police detention for five days.

The meeting between SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Euisun last July is starting to bear fruit, with more SK electric vehicle (EV) batteries being added to Hyundai s latest lineup.
The Genesis officially introduced its first G80 EV sedan at the 2021 Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition. Together with Kia s EV6, both utilize SK Innovation s batteries. Hyundai Motor Group is the parent company of both Kia and Hyundai Motor Co.

Tesla’s billionaire chief executive Elon Musk tweeted a denial that the car involved in a fatal crash in Texas last week had its Autopilot mode enabled.
Mr Musk, who co-founded Tesla in 2003, also said the owner of the car had not purchased the Full Self-Driving (FSD) package that offers users enhanced Autopilot capabilities.
“Data logs recovered so far show Autopilot was not enabled & this car did not purchase FSD,” Mr Musk said.
“Moreover, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have.”
