I get what you're saying, and I'm as frustrated as any other privacy-aware person, but until they can prevent you from reselling your car to another person (where all of this stuff means diddly squat), there's really nothing they can do. And I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon.

Well, they are already mandating how you can use or modify your car... And Tesla did put financial penalties on reselling the cybertrucks so we are definitely not far from even your definition of ownership being hindered

Teslas terms are egregious. I honestly don’t know how people are willing to put up with it.

Indeed my good man. And it's not even like those cars are the best or only choice in the planet
