Tesla is facing public scrutiny in China for data security and customer service complaints, and the company is recruiting managers for its legal and external relations team in China.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the 2021 World Internet Congress that data security is the key to the success of smart cars. Tesla has set up a data center in China to store all the data generated by the Chinese business, including production, sales, service, charging and other data.

Musk also said that all information is safely stored in China and will not be transferred overseas. Only in extremely rare cases such as the need to order spare parts from overseas will individual data be transferred after obtaining the relevant approval. Tesla is working with regulators to find the best solution for data security.

Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
