The woman drowned on February 10, but it was only several weeks later that the American media, the Wall Street Journal, could tell anything about the accident.
The media wrote that it was learned from several sources that Angela Chao had mistakenly found the reverse gear in the Tesla, something that in the brand's cars since 2021 has been controlled on the central infotainment screen.
The sources also described to the media that Angela Chao had several times had problems finding the right gear in a Tesla.
Her husband Jim Breyer, who is also a billionaire, did not want to blame Tesla for anything in that connection after the fatal accident. In fact, Jim Breyer considers Tesla CEO Elon Musk his personal friend.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Angela Chao called a friend in desperation when the Tesla was out in the water. Unfortunately, the rescue came too late. When it appeared after 24 minutes, it was too late.
