Chinese driver buys used Tesla worth $14,000, notices he doesn’t want to charge, drags ox in protest

A car owner in China was so shocked when he discovered that a second-hand Tesla Model 3 – which he bought for 101,000 yuan ($14,000) – would not charge that he protested by dragging it across the street pulled by an ox.

Many netizens were stunned by the reaction of the unknown man from Weifang, East China’s Shandong Province, who recently purchased the white Tesla Model 3 Performance through the well-known second-hand car platform Guazi.

According to Tesla’s official website in China, the current price of the same model in China starts at 335,900 yuan ($47,000).

However, after driving it, he discovered that the car was giving a warning that it could not be charged, leading him to suspect that the battery was defective.

It is unclear how the car was delivered and whether the owner tested it before purchasing.

After failing to reach a resolution with Guazi and Tesla, the frustrated car owner resorted to tying the Tesla to an ox and parading it through the streets in protest, hoping to draw public attention to draw attention to his plight and seek justice.
