Video on Chinese social media showed the woman at the Shanghai Auto Show 2021 standing on a Tesla sedan wearing a white T-shirt marked with Chinese characters reading “brake malfunction” and a Tesla logo. She can be heard shouting: “Tesla brake malfunctioned!” for several minutes before being dragged away by security guards.
