I'd like to know what sort of monitoring Tesla does before arguing either way. If they are actively monitoring for devices that are about to catch fire, and if so will call the fire department to come to your house, and your neighbours to evacuate, then sure it makes sense - but I assume they are just monitoring 'usage analytics', and the fault detection could work just as safely by shutting off the device and prompting the user for action, as another comment suggested. It's the same with their cars, although having a constant connection to HQ allows faults to be diagnosed quicker, I'd rather it just show a check engine light and go to a dealer (oh wait...).
