Since then, a series of videos documenting Tesla accidents and mishaps have gone viral. For example: In March, a video surfaced documenting a strange incident. A Tesla owner's brakes malfunctioned, and when a Tesla technician got to the scene, they were able to reproduce the same malfunction in another Model 3. In April, netizens posted a video of a Tesla catching fire after a deadly crash. Until recently, Tesla has been quiet about these incidents, or in some cases, the company said the driver was at fault. After that first recall in October, Tesla issued a non-apology and blamed "driver abuse" for the problems.
