Tesla announced on its Chinese social media page that its cameras are not activated outside of North America to assuage security concerns.
In March, the Chinese military banned cars by the US-based Tesla from entering its complexes due to security issues over cameras in its vehicles.
Tesla noted on its Weibo page that even in the US, car owners have the choice to turn on its camera system or not. It added that it is equipped with a world-leading network security system to ensure user privacy.
At a virtual forum in Beijing in March, held not long after reports of the ban surfaced, Tesla founder Elon Musk emphasized that if its cars are used to spy in China or anywhere, it will get shut down.
Last year, Tesla sold 30 percent of its global total in China.
