And they are able to pinpoint your car at any time anywhere in the world.....
A friend had the Tesla rep in his workshop and while he was there a customer phoned to say he had locked his keys in his car, so the rep says tell me when you are stood by your car, gets his laptop out and at the right moment opens the car doors...
Just to make it even more impressive the rep was in the UK and the car was in the USA.

Apparently asking to not have your data collected is similar to the way you can refuse data collection by other computer companies.

None of which makes me tempted to buy one...
