Pretty hard to avoid in most nations. Eg. In Australia 86% of electric cars (including all Teslas) are made in China. You might say no thanks but for anyone outside of the US or Europe you're not going to pay a huge amount more just to import a USA made Tesla when the Chinese made Teslas are cheaper.

To any doubters it's now common for vehicles to be outfitted with a range of sensors including cameras and GPS. Read the fine print on when said data is beamed back to the mothership and make your own decision.

No doubt written on a device with a microphone and camera and access to your local network with no knowledge of what it's doing or where its sending date.

In the USA this is happening with every other device you own. Then it's bought and sold freely on the open market. Probably to other countries. That's been going on for a decade or so... If you are concerned about a nation state doing bad things with your data, the most immediate threat is likely the nation you live in. Right? Maybe not for military personnel, but most people aren't that.

Strong nope from me also . . .

They are also significantly more explosive.

But sending it to Silicon Valley is fine right?
