Is Tesla the only car company collecting usage data? Off the top of my head, I don't think so. Your comment kind of reminds me of how much shit "Big Tech" gets for data collection, just because they're highly visible, while the really scary shit (e.g. cell carriers offering granular per-user location data APIs to anybody with money) flies under the radar because it doesn't have that sexy down-with-big-tech angle that (ironically?) seems to drive the most clicks. That's not to say the usual "Big Tech" suspects are choirboys, but the public discourse's focus on their data collection activities is absurdly myopic.
