Leading Paris taxi company G7 has suspended the use of all Tesla Model 3 cars in its fleet after a serious accident with one of the cars at the weekend, it said on Tuesday (December 14).

A company executive said that the 37 electric driven Tesla Model 3 cars in it fleet will remain suspended until the conclusion of a police investigation into the case.

G7 deputy Chief Executive Yann Ricordel told Reuters that the driver was off-duty and was taking his family to a restaurant when the accident happened on Saturday evening (December 11). Ten people were injured - seven seriously - in the accident, according to AFP news agency.

Ricordel added that Tesla had said on Monday that an initial inquiry had ruled out a technical fault. Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

"Today we have two divergent views on the subject. We will maintain the suspension of the Tesla Model 3 while the investigation is ongoing, as a safety measure for our drivers, customers and other road users," Ricordel said.
