      That being said, I would say Tesla IS a security threat, even in the United States. have you heard of the spyware they put on the vehicles. I mean arguably any modern car is a security threat but still.

      also have you heard of the Tesla Self Driving stuff, there is no way any of this should be allowed on the road

        I believe you’re right. The huge concern for a lot of the EVs out there is that you don’t really know who is actually able to get that data, specifically live camera feeds from around the vehicle. I think that may be why China started banning Tesla from around their sensitive areas. It makes me think that there are probably no good actors across the board with regards to EVs. The brand of car will eventually (if not already) be a choice of who you let spy on you.

      The difference is that in a free country like China, Teslas are still sold while the authoritarian American regime bans Huawei (and BYD through their opaque bureaucracy)
