On April 20th, Tao Lin, Tesla's Global Vice President, took to Weibo to highlight an alarming issue: the online availability of third-party accessories such as "seat belt extension connectors" and "steering wheel weights," which are marketed as workarounds for the vehicle's safety features. Tao Lin stressed that these products are not only unlawful but also pose a grave danger to users and other road participants. She vehemently advised merchants to cease selling these highly irresponsible items and appealed to the public to refrain from using them. Tao Lin emphasized that despite advancements in vehicle-assisted driving, the driver remains the ultimate authority and accountability holder for road safety, reminding everyone that life is invaluable.
