But are they selling that data, or using it to improve their products. There is a scale to privacy. With FOSS at one end, and Google/Facebook at the other. Apple is in the middle, and if Tesla keeps the data internal, then Tesla would be around the same place

I don't know, I'd argue that selling the data would be less offensive than using that data to disingenuously throw a customer under the bus for the sake of their own PR, actually.
