Personally speaking, I’ve had 4 from mb, as a direct result of the black box it’s my last.
Yes tesla take telemetry from the vehicle, so do many others also.
However the telemetry taken by the manufacturers is for the vehicle maintenance, handling, efficiency and wear and tear. It’s not officially to spy on you, to much big brother for me.
It’s a bit of a non-sequitur anyway.
The issue isn’t data collection itself (regardless of how much that matters to individuals), it’s that one WILL lead to you losing your car, and the other doesn’t.
There is no argument to be had on that front. While Teslas are data-hogs, more so than others, most of it is anonymised, and you can opt out of a lot of it. But even if you couldn’t, it won’t mark your driving down based on absolute asinine reasons, requiring you to constantly call MB and correct the errors.
One just needs to read through the experiences with the app to see how many false flags it throws.
In the end, most of what the Tesla can collect of me that’d be of any kind of importance to me is already collected by google anyway. While i’m not happy about it, it doesn’t affect my day to day life at all, so.. whatever. Certainly do not have the will nor capacity to constantly check what is collecting what and adjust my life and purchases around it. You’ll not get around it anyway. If it’s not your Tesla tracking your driving, it’s your Phone tracking your locations and behaviour – if it’s not your phone, it’s your energy provider tracking when you’re at home/likely to use more electricity, etc pp.
It is what it is.

I’m with Rene. You can’t fight it and TBF you’re part of it regardless, because if you don’t hand information over your excluded from so much. Here’s two examples. Last night in Asda as I was heading for the exit I noticed a big video screen above the door. It had a very clear image of me and a green box around my head. Today my other half couldn’t get out of Lidl without a receipt to scan at the barrier lol.
I’ve nothing to hide and prefer a simpler life. It’s when they want to insert a chip in me that I will… Actually they all ready have. Got my ICD box changed a few weeks ago and they give me a Samsung smart phone to record my heartbeat lol. Hmm I wonder what else it is recording from me.
Come to think about it a saw a documentary a while ago where a guy in England was getting done for rape and murder and he was f’d. Especially when just after the crime he claimed he just lost his phone and other evidence linked him. While on remand his phone turned up and give enough evidence of pictures and data location to prove he was not the scum bag.
24 hours in police custody I think. Same show the other night a guy murdered he flat mate and it was watts app messages and a recording of him at work that nailed him. That show was good, sad but good.
Last night’s show was good as well. But he was a hateful bassa, absolute scum bag. And he got away with it for 11 years, if it was todays tech he wouldn’t have got away for 11 days. So has very good uses.
Just don’t Google William and clothes pegs and your ads will be fine. lol
Any way slightly off topic while just slightly on it.

Full aware of the drive smart box, however, if you lose you PIP on a lease you are still saddled with a debt or your wife/estate if you die.
We may consider a Tesla lease , however we are reserves if it goes tits up.

No one is saddled with any debt if you die with a lease car, it is just taken back by the lease company and sold or re leased as a used car.
