Well, if I can't rob banks in my Tesla then I don't think it's even worth getting one anymore.
Camera footage my friend. Remember, Teslas are broadband rolling surveillance devices.

Funny how the police push back on having applied to them what they are more than happy to see inflicted on others.
I don't think the fact that redundant systems were actively sharing car data negates the point of the example, though. We know Tesla is collecting this information, and https://www.tesla.com/legal/privacy makes it clear that Tesla will share this data with not only law enforcement but "service providers, business partners and affiliates".
It also says for example this:
"We limit how, and with who, we share your personal data. Examples of when we may share your information include, payment processing, order fulfillment, product installation, customer service, marketing, financing, service or repair, and other similar services.
We do not sell your personal data to anyone for any purpose, period. The table below illustrates who Tesla may share your personal data with depending on your interactions with us or purchases you make."
[A table follows with examples.]
[More precise details follow]
...
"Law enforcement and government authorities.
Description: Disclosure of information as required by law, or when otherwise appropriate
Reason: To comply with applicable laws based on our legal obligation or legitimate interests"
...
"Other third party business partners to the extent that they are involved in the purchase, lease, or service of your Tesla products."
"Service providers, business partners and affiliates" is so vague that Tesla can share any data with almost anyone without revising this notice. If they ever do want to sell the data instead of giving it away, they can change the notice at any time.
Only if you assume bad faith and don't read the surrounding text. They say explicitly that that category is there to allow them to outsource actions they would otherwise do internally. I mean, sure, you can imagine that being twisted in the future. But what exactly do you want them to say? This is a very typical privacy notice, and I don't see any red flags at all.
I mean, if you don't trust Tesla, don't buy one I guess. But trying to argue that they're somehow a unique privacy risk seems to be really strained logic.
But the next time you try to go to a protest that is not sanctioned by the Democrats, expect your Tesla to refuse to take you there.
