> It’s fascinating to watch people swear off Amazon Echo and delete their Facebook over privacy concerns but then proudly drive around in a vehicle that records everything, stores everything, and gives opaque data access to the parent company. How does this give anyone more data on me than is already out there based on the cellphone in my pocket and the use of my credit/debit cards? Even if Tesla didn't collect it the LTE signal of the car is enough to track me when I leave my phone at home. And if you don't have Tesla and your car has something like OnStar it can do this too. All I see are people making a mountain out of a mole hill. The data on my accelerator pedal is not a threat to my privacy or freedom. The massive number of safety features in this car are a net benefit for my physical safety, though. The number of times I've avoided collisions because the car took action when people I couldn't see were about to hit me is worth every penny. I will never buy another car without the Tesla standard set of features ever again. I used to avoid doing things because of a long drive as I hate the fatigue. Now I don't even blink at the idea of going 300 miles for an event.
