The US already lags far behind China and Europe, but we're going too fast, dealers say.

    It’s wild to me that a car that is really quite a bit simpler than an ICE car is required to be perpetually online.

    Well it would be wild if it was true. Car drives just fine without an internet connection.

    there are absolutely zero controls on privacy for Tesla telemetry data

    Another wild claim, what is it based on I wonder?

      This made the rounds recently. Tesla is bad (just like all car companies), but not quite that bad. They do have stated controls.

      I was expressing personal opinion, which is influenced by some known facts. Tesla employees shared videos recorded from cars on their company instant messaging system, which suggests lax controls (lawsuit too). They even passed around images of Elon Musk’s garage.

      Elon Musk also personally canceled the Model X order of a buyer who criticized him. That level of pettiness suggests contempt for Tesla buyers and owners. Is the personal data for an active Tesla owner who criticizes him off-limits?

        Also Elon bad, yeah no shit all people with that level of money are generally assholes. But a company should be able to chose who it does business with no?
