今天早些时候，路透社发布了一份简短报告，称特斯拉将召回超过 110 万辆电动汽车。召回包括国产和进口车型。该出版物指出，该信息来自中国市场监管机构，但没有提供召回原因的任何细节。

路透社写道，共有 1,104,622 辆特斯拉车型受到影响，其中包括进口的Model S、Model X和Model 3电动汽车以及本地生产的Model Y和 Model 3 汽车。 

这篇文章从未更新过更多细节，不过最近，路透社发表了关于同一主题的第二篇文章。据中国监管机构称，第二篇文章称特斯拉将向超过 110 万辆电动汽车推送软件更新。虽然这家美国汽车制造商正在使用免费软件更新来解决问题，但如果监管机构认为它涉及安全问题，它仍被视为召回。路透社指出，目前尚不清楚司机是否可以选择退还汽车以获得退款。

中国监管机构担心司机无法选择关闭特斯拉电动汽车的再生制动。此外，监管机构认为，特斯拉的汽车应该在驾驶员用力踩油门时发出更多警告，因为踩油门可能会导致撞车。

特斯拉软件更新将恢复允许驾驶员关闭再生制动的设置。它还将添加新的警告，在驾驶员用力踩加速踏板时提醒他们。

特斯拉的车辆以及许多其他电动汽车都可以用一个踏板驱动。这意味着您推动加速踏板向前或向后前进，然后抬起以减速并最终停止。然而，在中国已经报道了多起特斯拉司机声称他们的汽车刹车失灵的事件。后来才知道，司机们不小心用力踩了油门踏板，而不是刹车踏板。

中国监管机构认为，如果司机像我们在汽油动力汽车中那样使用两个踏板，这种情况可能不会经常发生。召回请求是在中国一名特斯拉 Model Y 司机失去控制并导致两人死亡后发出的。特斯拉数据显示，司机在撞车过程中从未踩过刹车。

Earlier today, Reuters issued a brief report stating that Tesla would recall over 1.1 million EVs. Domestic builds as well as imported models were included in the recall. The publication noted that the information came from China's market regulator, but didn't provide any details about the reason for the recall.

Reuters wrote that a total of 1,104,622 Tesla models were impacted, including Model S, Model X, and Model 3 EVs that were imported and Model Y and Model 3 vehicles produced locally.

The article was never updated with more details, though, more recently, Reuters published a second article about the same topic. The second article claims Tesla will push a software update to over 1.1 million EVs, according to a Chinese regulator. While the US automaker is using a free software update to address an issue, it's still considered a recall if the regulator believes it involves a safety issue. Reuters notes that it's not clear whether drivers could instead opt to return their cars for a refund.

The Chinese regulator is concerned that drivers don't have the option to turn off regenerative braking in Tesla's EVs. Moreover, the regulator believes Tesla's cars should issue more warnings when drivers step hard on the accelerator, since stomping on the accelerator can result in a crash.

The Tesla software update will restore a setting that allows the driver to turn off regenerative braking. It will also add new warnings that alert a driver when they step hard on the accelerator pedal.

Tesla's vehicles, along with many other EVs, are capable of being driven with one pedal. This means you push the accelerator pedal to progress forward or in reverse, and lift off to slow down and eventually stop. However, there have been many incidents reported in China where Tesla drivers claimed their cars had brake failure. It was later learned that the drivers accidentally pushed hard on the accelerator pedal rather than the brake pedal.

Chinese regulators believe this may not happen as often if the drivers were using both pedals as we do in gas-powered cars. The request for the recall was issued after a Tesla Model Y driver in China lost control and killed two people. Tesla data showed that the driver never applied the brakes during the crash.
