Chengdu, China: Chinese authorities have not allowed the movement of US-based Tesla cars on specific routes in China’s Sichuan since President Xi Jinping visited the province recently.

Videos surfaced on Chinese social media showing that the traffic police are allowing other cars to go through but Tesla cars are diverted to a different route, ANI reported.

It is to be noted that the police took these actions taking security concerns into consideration and Tesla cars have many cameras and sensors as compared to other cars, the news agency reported.

Meanwhile, US carmaker Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory has returned to full production capacity. Over 40,000 vehicles have rolled off the production line since it resumed production on April 19,  Xinhua News Agency citing the company as quoted by ANI.
