Tesla cars to be banned from Chinese government buildings amid security fears — report

Tesla drivers in China are reportedly facing entry bans in government-affiliated buildings as security concerns with the US increase.

According to a report published by Nikkei Asia, an increasing number of meeting halls and exhibition centres across the country are refusing entry to Tesla vehicles. In an interview with Nikkei Asia, a local claimed the Grand Halls conference centre in Shanghai has banned Tesla vehicles on its grounds completely, whether it be to park, or just passing through. This was reportedly followed up with a statement from Tesla noting all data collected by a vehicle’s sentry mode function is stored internally on a USB drive, and isn’t able to be accessed remotely.
