I decided I’m never buying a Tesla because of this.

Does that mean that up until now you thought Tesla is a company full of ethical people? And when I say "ethical people" I mean either the low level individuals wouldn't go violate their customer's privacy, AND the higher level individuals would put in place security measures that would make it impossible for the low-level employees to violate their customer's privacy? Seriously, in your mind what changed?

  I had considered buying a Tesla, but didn't because the infrastructure isn't good enough yet where I live. But now, no, my next car will be an EV from any other manufacturer. I had no idea that Teslas had the ability to send video back to the company.

    Check out the Hyundai Kona EV. Had mine for years. No significant problems. About 500 km range. Fully fast charges overnight.

    How do you think they were training their self driving system?

      I'd hope they'd have it trained before releasing it. Also, opt in and not recording when the car isn't driving.

      Not by recording videos of people doing their laundry while the car is off and and parked.

  When they first started the Model S (I wasn't that thrilled by the Roadster), Tesla was my dream. However, as time has passed, the shine has worn off, more and more. I'm not thrilled with the antics of the Tesla CEO, but I haven't really let that influence my opinions of the car. It took some time, but all the other carmakers are starting to come out with some damn nice e-cars. Tesla had a great head start, but the tortoises are catching up...

Follow-up: I changed my mind on this slightly because of this: https://www.vox.com/technology/2023/4/6/23673339/tesla-camera-privacy https://www.vox.com/technology/2023/4/6/23673339/tesla-camer... It's true that this is not just a Tesla problem - it's a problem for all car companies. They all need to fix this.
