Many people looked up to him, until they realized that they were being tricked with empty promises. The reaction of realizing that you have been lied to is quite strong and lasting.
Musk compensation package is tied to Tesla's share price(and profitability). Sp there is a high insensitive to pump the stock, hence the countless empty promises. Tesla bots have been pumping TSLA stock since 2013[1].
Or if you invested $1k in Tesla shares, it would be worth more than $16k now. I can see why tesla fanboys/shareholders are so protective about the Tesla's image..
The network connection is an excellent point, yesterday Optus, a large telecommunications and Internet provider, suffered a nationwide outage that affected at least 10 million Australians.
Imagine if millions of cars failed to function properly because they were linked to network. If there was a natural disaster, this may have terrible consequences.
> All but two of the 25 car brands we reviewed earned our “ding” for data control, meaning only two car brands, Renault and Dacia (which are owned by the same parent company) say that all drivers have the right to have their personal data deleted. We would like to think this deviation is one car company taking a stand for drivers’ privacy. It’s probably no coincidence though that these cars are only available in Europe -- which is protected by the robust General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) privacy law.
I think legislations does cover these(at least to some extent), but the industry chose to play ignorant.
No idea if Mozilla checked the US or EU. But even in the EU car makers seem to collect, and use, excesive amounts of data. There is some EU legislation in the works so right now. Which is good.
I do not have issues with collecting data for crash investigation and such. And that your on board gps is collecting GPS data is somewhat normal. What I do not see any justification for is:
- sharing said data with manufacturers, instead of just saving it locally
- collecting data from phones or even passangers
- allowing manufacturers to analyse, use and sell sid data
- allow Apple and Google access to OBD data (that's why I just use bluetooth to stream music, but eho knows...)
- why a car has to be connected to the cloud to begin with
- why the infotainment system has access at all to OBD data (exception: data used for navigation, and that should only be used when needed and then deleted by the GPS)
Well, if I leave my phone at home, my car from 1982 seems to be save so. Now if I could just afford to use it as a daily... Well, no, too uncomfortable. But still. Anyway, time to remove the SIM that came with our latest used car bought directly from an official brand dealership. Assuming it is the only one, which it most likely isn't since the car has an emergency button, the deffinetly needs some for of connection I cannot control.
They used to have one called LockWise https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/end-of-support-firefox-...
