On September 8, blogger @Shuishuixiong broke the news that a newly launched ES8 was involved in a single-vehicle crash within a tunnel. This incident could potentially be the first accident involving the ES8 since its official market release on August 21. In response, Ma Lin, the Vice President of NIO, clarified that the accident involved a work vehicle and had no connection to assisted driving features. Fortunately, the two occupants in the vehicle escaped unharmed. Further investigations into the incident will be carried out.
