Batman: Tesla accused of spying by China - who is spying on who lol

Your post leader is incorrect and misleading. No spying accusation was made by China.

The cars have hi-res cameras, lidar, gps, etc. These vehicles have been banned on military bases apparently.

This is just normal military sensitivity and there was no allegation of spying at all from anyone.

Bring on the clones!! In the meantime you'll have to settle for an MG. I think that's the only China made EV available in NZ?
