Chinese drone ban- add Tesla to that

Our government is trying to ban all DJI drones because they may be returning information to Chinese entities. Why aren't they equally paranoid about all the crap the Chinese made Tesla's would send outside our country? Those should be banned as well.

I couldn't find any figures for the total amount of Tesla's sold here, but there were 498,000 sold in the US just last year alone. They also employ 121,858 as of June.
