> They’ll need a warrant to pull the data from the manufacturer. Can you elaborate?

  As the article says "As such, Tesla's terms and conditions—like those of other non-automotive tech companies, including Apple, Google, and more—say that the company will hand over data to law enforcement when legally compelled to do so." "Legally compelled to do so" means a warrant or a court order or something like that; which in my mind seems reasonable; in general, we do want courts to get evidence to determine what actually happened in (potentially fatal) accidents, instead of having to do without and have a greater chance of making a wrong judgement because they didn't have that information.

  Basically as PeterP has stated. LEAs will need a warrant. Because of liability, they probably won’t give that data up willingly.
