Can I please just get a car, instead of a rolling computer / infotainment / privacy nightmare?

The data verifiably never leaves the car and is never saved but

Sorry but how… how do you verify this?
Is all of the Tesla car software suite open source? Are the schematics of the car, at least about all the cabling and technical components publicly available? Or was it just the Tesla PR department saying that they of course don’t do that because they value your privacy so, so much?

Tesla cares are big, remote controllable black boxes, that can receive software updates at any moment without you even knowing.

Teslas have a WiFi and cellular modem. You can’t tell what exactly its sending or receiving because encryption, but uploading video to Tesla’s servers means a much larger data set than just telemetry. It is very easy to see if something like that is coming across.

No need to exfiltrate the whole video stream: extract features and call them ‘telemetry’.
