Spying fears have reportedly led China to ban Tesla vehicles from the coastal town of Beidaihe for two months, ahead of a secretive government leadership meeting.

Interesting development and could possibly happen with a few car makes and models as they have a lot of cameras and software which could be leveraged for desirable outcomes. I suppose Teslas number comes up now as there's a lot of them in China and they're known to be in constant contact to home, downloading and uploading data.

Ha, the Tesla fanboys are gonna be salty about this one... They can't drive there, but I can drive my car around the town hosting a secretive Chinese government meeting any time I want...

I just choose not to.
