3) Wonder what happens in private sale of used Tesla, since the second owner never agreed to such terms, or did they? (Depends on when these terms are presented to them). Could lead to a class action, just saying...

This is my thought exactly, and not just for Tesla.

The original purchaser agreed to the privacy policy, but if the original purchaser goes on to sell that vehicle in a private transaction, then the second purchaser did not agree to said privacy policy.

Also, since private sales are just that - private - how does the manufacturer know who the data is now about?

They'll know when you need to pay the bills for their spying network and because you are forced to go to them to get the car serviced.

A Tesla without Tesla dealerships is a brick. I'm super curious how much those used Teslas will be worth in 10 years time.

Also they can just check all that GPS data they're collecting.
