I don't have a Tesla. I would never own a Tesla. Nothing to do with Musk. I like Musk. I admire his accomplishments. People selling their Teslas because they have irrational emotions show just how dumb these people are. No, I will never own a Tesla because of how much data it collects on you. There is no more privacy invasive vehicle on the road than Tesla. Where you are, where you go, where you live, when you travel, how you drive (speed, acceleration, hard braking), cameras inside, cameras always on outside watching your car and surroundings, who is in the car, where you work, shop, eat, where kids go to school, facial recognition, if you're tired or distracted, where you bank, if you're doing something out of routine, etc etc. etc. It's disgusting how much data it collects and you have no opt out. Oh, and they sell that data to insurance companies as well as creating profile of you to sell to third party brokers.

Nah, I'll stick with old school cool. I don't even want Android Auto or Apple Carplay spying on me. And, yes, those systems do, too, but at least they're not nearly as invasive as Tesla (and many modern cars) are.
