Major taxi company suspends all Tesla Model 3s over ‘serious accident’


14 Dec, 2021 19:08



Leading Paris taxi company G7 has announced it is suspending the use of Tesla Model 3 cars from its fleet following an accident that left over a dozen people injured in the French capital.

The suspension will only affect 37 taxi drivers in the company’s fleet, but will continue until a police investigation into last week’s crash concludes.

G7 deputy chief executive Yann Ricordel told Reuters the accident happened while a driver was off duty on Saturday evening. The taxi reportedly began aggressively accelerating and went out of control, injuring multiple pedestrians and causing damage in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

Approximately 20 people were hurt in the incident, seven of them sustaining what were described as “serious injuries.” It is currently unknown whether it was a driver or car error that caused the crash.
