According to reports, nearly every Tesla vehicle built and sold in China following the opening of Shanghai’s “Gigafactory” is being recalled over concerns that cruise control systems may result in unintended acceleration. 

“The problem, according to Chinese regulators, is that the system can be accidentally activated in certain models, resulting in unintended acceleration,” CNN reported. “The recall includes 35,665 imported Model 3 vehicles and 249,855 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles made at the Shanghai plant or almost every single locally made car that Tesla (TSLA) has sold in China since January 2020.”
