I was thinking about Tesla Driving Data today:
I was wondering what data they were gathering, and what they would do with it, and how it could be useful to other drivers:
What if you have a Tesla driver profile and you could see your driving habits ranked amongst all other tesla drivers (anonymously) to determine your rank as the most safe, efficient, slow, fast, whatever driver.
To see where you stack among others would have an effect on your driving. To see how your particular car performs against all others - its mileage vs age against others etc...
I think that there is a whole other layer that could be added onto the Tesla experience that other car manufacturers are far too old and less nimble to do appropriately.
