Tesla Required to Update Software in Over 1 Million Cars in China Due to Acceleration, Braking Issues

  • Tesla will deploy software updates to over 1 million vehicles in China to allow changes to braking methods and provide more warnings about accelerator pedal use.
  • The software updates will restore the option of switching off regenerative braking and warn drivers when they step hard on the accelerator pedal.
  • The recall affects vehicles produced between Jan. 12, 2019, and April 24, 2023 and covers all four of Tesla's vehicle models manufactured in China.
  • Tesla's revenues from China climbed to $18.2 billion last year, and the country is Tesla's most important market.
  • The concerned vehicles did not allow drivers to turn off regenerative braking or provide enough warnings when drivers stepped on the accelerator pedal hard.
