A woman was detained after dramatically climbing onto a car and shouting about Tesla vehicle malfunctions at a car show in China on April 19.

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.
