I like the idea of a remote wipe, but foresee issues if the part of the car required for remote connectivity gets broken in the crash too.

It would be nice to have a way to physically remove the data from the car if remote connectivity is down. Some kind of FRU part in the trunk where all the user specific data for the car lives.

Get in a crash and just make sure to take the "hard drive" out of the car and then you dont have to worry.

A USB thumb drive. But that would be too easy.

Store it in the ignition key.

Aren't the 3 models keyless, and you have to use your phone? I seem to remember reading that a while back.

Not totally: https://www.tesla.com/support/model-3-key-fob

But they can also store the content on the phone, and then we have gone full circle with the idea. :)
