China Driver Buys Used Tesla for $14,000, Says He Won’t Charge Tolls, Tows an Ox in Protest

A car owner in China was so shocked to discover that his used Tesla Model 3 – which he bought for 101,000 yuan ($14,000) – did not charge tolls that he staged a protest by towing it down the street by an ox.

Many netizens were stunned by the reaction of an unidentified man from Weifang, eastern China’s Shandong province, who recently purchased a white Tesla Model 3 Performance through the well-known used car platform Guazi.

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

However, after driving the route, he discovered that a warning was displayed indicating that it could not be charged, leading him to suspect a battery failure.

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

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