French taxi company G7 announced on Tuesday that it was suspending the operation of all Tesla Model 3s it had in the city after a serious car accident last Saturday in Paris.
A total of 37 drivers using cars will be suspended, while 50 drivers using the brand’s Model S will continue to operate.
On Tuesday, French Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebari told French media he was not “concerned” about the accident that caused one death and 19 injuries – five of them seriously – because “there is no data to suggest that the accident is related to a technical problem” .
The accident occurred when one of the drivers, who was off duty, was driving with his family to a restaurant. The driver, who was unhurt, reported that he lost control of the car, which, according to him, “accelerated on its own,” without being able to reverse him. Before the taxi collided with another car, it ran over several people.
