If you have a mobile phone, you are already broadcasting your location. Go to google maps, open the sidebar menu, select "your timeline".

Privacy isn't some binary choice, and having less data collected means less data being spilled when X company has a server compromised.
Except you can, you know, turn that off.
In any case, there's a difference between Google storing my location (they don't), Tesla storing my location (they would), and NSA storing my location (they do).
Google gives me the option to opt out. If I opt in, they give me cool features that require said location history.
NSA doesn't let anyone opt out, naturally.
Tesla doesn't let users opt out, even if they don't use autopilot. As we've seen, they actively use their location data to attempt to exonerate themselves whenever there's any kind of accident. In any case, Tesla gives me nothing in return for this information. If I were to try to modify the car to send no data, I don't doubt that Tesla would disable the fucking car.
