Leading Paris taxi company G7 has suspended the use of Tesla Model 3 cars in its fleet after an accident involving one of the vehicles killed one person and injured 20 others on Saturday.

Tesla has not responded to requests for comment.

Djebbari told RMC radio he was not worried, at this stage, about the accident. “There are no elements that would lead (one) to believe it was tied to a technical problem,” he added.

The minister said he spoke on Tuesday night with the chief executive of Tesla Europe who told him there had been no safety alerts about that model.
