Under pressure from regulators, Telsa agreed to share vehicle data with a customer after her protest atop a Tesla car at the Shanghai auto show went viral.

Zhang Yazhou from Central China's Henan Province carried out the protest on Monday citing a crash in February involving a Tesla Model 3 driven by her father. She argued that the crash was caused by a brake malfunction, but Tesla said the driver was speeding and did not keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
