Now as Tesla becomes a major electric vehicle player in China, it finds itself in a similar dilemma. Over the past weekend, local media reported that an airport in a southern city with a one-million population had banned Tesla vehicles from parking due to “confidentiality concerns,” though drop-offs and pick-ups are still allowed. And despite similar features in other local EV makers, Tesla’s foreign identity clearly results in more trust issues. In May 2021, Reuters reported that some government compounds in China had barred Tesla vehicles from entering. Tesla will soon face a new issue around data isolation once it switches Full Self-Driving on for Chinese users.
