With a Tesla you do have that choice.

If it is in the EU, yes you do. Just compare the difference between what Toyota does with customer data in the US and the EU. Preferably, I can remove the sim card myself and all connectivity stops. If I cannot do that hardware wise myself, I havw to assume I am tracked.

The different OEM approaches between the US and EU show you how important legislation is. Especiqlly since Tesla's zrack record regarding privacy is abysmal.

Any particular examples you can share with us?

Tesla employees sharing memes derived from intimate in car camera footage? Cuts it for me.

Also, why would I want cameras inside my car? But that question is off topic.

The times Elon has shared in car video feeds to try and blame the driver for autopilot crashes, without that driver's authorization to do so. Legal? Sure, according to every stupid, untested EULA that everyone has to sign, but you didn't ask about legality.

Wow, that is a really dock move.

Probably not entirely legal no matter what EULA says, at least not in EU

It seems to be an anti-Tesla lie. I can find no reference to such a video.

I've never seen an in-car video feed shared by Tesla. Nor can I find any reference to such an incident.

Then complain about (the lack of) US consumer protections, not Tesla.

What bout California?
