That snapshot was of the Tesla owned fleet aka loaners. But regardless YES loaner or not they gather data about your car 24/7 through the car. Just like how FANG and like umm every company gathers data about you. Not sure if tesla sells your data or not but it is collected for a better tesla experience: planning infrastucture, programming, hardware, autopilot, errors, etc. You call support and say I had this issue/experience and they say okay let me pull up your log and find the exact time it occurred and they try to fix it remotely (you can reboot or they push you a new firmware in a day or two) or they send it in for further diagnostic. Pretty spooky times.

So, if you'r involved in any type of litigation, criminal investigation, etc. can your Tesla data be subpoena'd like they can do with EZPass?

Good question. I was thinking if the circumstances are serious enough they will cooperate. But here is the official answer and more at legal page that too much for me to know or care for (dont plan to do anything unlawful YET). Similarly, I know there was amazon echo/dot case that may have witnessed murders and the judge ordered amzn for the recording. Not sure what came of it.

So it looks like you can opt out of data but thats like being limp.

With other third parties when required by law

So the winner CAN have their cake and eat it too?!

You guys are rolling deep. What is the association or reason for that raffle? Are they invested in some EV tech either it be in a Tesla or other brand or infrastructure?
It's a raffle for the group of people who had a successful recommendation for a new hire.. Which in itself got you a bonus... This was an added bonus for the 50 ish people who got new people in this past year

there are so many big-data mash-ups - consider the cell system (which has a good idea of location), any mapping software used where the routing engine isn't in the car, plate scanning, etc..
i read an article that a dsp/sound sensor can identify individual cars

Wifey and I are reading this series - avoiding all the ways a nefarious government can track you is a central plot theme. He's dragging the story out but still pretty good

Just about every car made in the past 10 years also has a black box that can be used against you in court....so theres that too.

Haha that custom abomination has a motor behind the seats, it's completely ridiculous.

Thanks the one I really had no clue was the blue/rusty one. Something like this I guess
