Windows does not send anything back to Microsoft unless the user explicitly enables the "Customer Experience Improvement Program." If you want to check if this is enabled, just press start and type "ceip".

Microsoft is huge software corporation that dominates operating system/productivity space. Tesla is a fairly small automotive company that is really innovative. I think that comparison is actually extremely flattering to Tesla.

Anyways your point is correct, however it is one thing to get telemetry from your own operating system that connected to the internet, and entirely different beast to bring that kind of technology to consumer automobiles.

And that's unlike the iPhone in some way?
