When I first read about Tesla's rebuttal to the NYT story, that the driver took an un-reported detour and didn't recharge the battery fully, I though what else does Tesla know from the car's telemetry system. Does Tesla get this real time, or only when the car is "docked"? If I drive a Tesla, will they know when I stopped for fast food, starbucks, or Frys? Will they know when I stop at a Ford dealership when I am thinking about trading it in?
Maybe I am old fashioned, but I think I'll keep my cheap gas guzzling stupid car that minds its own business for a while rather than jumping to one of these expensive, electron sipping smart cars that tells its maker every detail of my travels.
