Paris' largest taxi firm, G7, has suspended the use of Tesla Model 3 cars in its fleet, after one was involved in a fatal accident over the weekend.
One person was killed and another 20 injured, after a driver lost control of the vehicle.
Tesla has denied any technical problem with the car, which has self-driving features such as automatic steering.
Paris prosecutors have opened an investigation into charges of manslaughter and unintentional injury.
On Wednesday, France's Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari also said there was no suggestion, at this stage, that the accident was linked to a technical problem.
Tesla Europe's chief executive told the minister there had been no safety alerts about the model when they spoke on Tuesday night.
