On July 9, according to the official website of the electronic version of the "Rule of Law Daily", Internet celebrity "Boss Cai" Cai Jia published an apology statement to Tesla in the newspaper:
On December 5, 2022, I, Cai Jia, posted a video on the Douyin platform "Telling about the experiences of netizens" and "It's just so numb".
In the above two videos, I, Cai Jia, as a professional car reviewer, ignored the kinetic energy recovery function and its principles of electric vehicles, and simply attributed the lighting of the electric vehicle's brake lights to the driver stepping on the brakes, and concluded that it was wrong. The conclusion of "brake failure" has caused serious damage to Tesla's reputation. In addition, I, Cai Jia, fabricated the conclusion given by the staff of Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. that the car owner stepped on the switch 0.2 seconds before the crash, fabricated remarks that regional executives felt strange about being insensitive to the public, and also used the phrase "in my heart" Insulting and negative words such as "ghost", "big change", "lucky", "numb", "disgusting", "unworthy", "dirty in their eyes", "sad", malicious slander, Derogatory to the reputation of Tesla Motors.
After the court hearing and judgment, I have realized my mistakes and have deeply reflected on my actions. The Internet is not a place outside the law. Freedom of speech should be exercised within the legal framework. Publication of speech on the Internet should be based on facts. No one may publish facts in public without reasonable verification.
The above behavior has infringed the reputation of Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. I sincerely apologize to your company for the above behavior!
It is reported that Cai Jia is the Internet celebrity car reviewer "Boss Cai". Douyin once had more than 5 million fans and more than 7 million fans on the entire network. In December last year, the Cyberspace Administration of China reported a number of typical cases of damaging the business network environment. Among them, Cai Jia’s multiple accounts were listed, including the Weibo platform account "One dish, two dishes" and the Douyin platform account "Boss Cai" , the WeChat platform account "Meiyan Auto" published and spread false information, maliciously slandered the product quality and reputation of a certain automobile company, and continued to deliberately hype it. The accounts involved have been closed in accordance with the law.
It is worth noting that "Boss Cai" had previously refused to apologize to Tesla and was forced to do so by the court, sparking heated discussions.
Cai Jia broke the news in a video in 2021 that one of his friends was one of Tesla's suppliers. After localization, Tesla adopted methods such as lowering quotations and strict payment methods or cycles against suppliers. , this move may cause problems with the supplier's product quality, and at the same time, Tesla's inspection personnel and supplier personnel have behaviors such as "taking advantage of others".
In 2022, the court verdict in this case was released: Cai Jia publicly apologized to Tesla and compensated Tesla 100,000 yuan. The court determined that the content of the "Boss Cai" video had no factual basis and was a fabrication of false facts. Moreover, "Boss Cai"'s words in the video were relatively fierce, obviously insulting and negative, which exceeded the reasonable scope of supervision and criticism, and had the intention to insult and slander Tesla.
On June 6, 2023, Tesla posted on its official Weibo that after Cai was found guilty of infringing on Tesla’s reputation, he refused to fulfill his obligation to publicly apologize on relevant online platforms and was arrested by the Ningbo City Intermediate in Zhejiang Province. The People's Court enforces the execution.
In addition to Tesla, in January this year, Cai Jia was also ordered to apologize to Li Auto in a newspaper and must pay 22,150 yuan in compensation.
