You can opt out. They give the usual unspecified things may not work right. I've read about people doing this. You lose updated maps, and they actually have a ton of great things they've added since it started. Some people always connect to wifi hotspot from their phones when driving around. If you opt out of the data collection, I don't know if the 3g modem will still be active. There are people who have turned it off. The tesla is one car that actually has a ton of useful software apps (even though they never realized the promise of their own app store, they have useful things). I love the homemade mapping and traffic site that combines maps, weather, waze updates and many other things at https://teslawaze.azurewebsites.net/ https://teslawaze.azurewebsites.net/.
