The times Elon has shared in car video feeds to try and blame the driver for autopilot crashes, without that driver's authorization to do so. Legal? Sure, according to every stupid, untested EULA that everyone has to sign, but you didn't ask about legality.

Wow, that is a really dock move.

Probably not entirely legal no matter what EULA says, at least not in EU

Every time Tesla refers to the cars they sold to customers as their ‘fleet’, I get the feeling they don’t really recognise they are no longer the owner of those vehicles. Fleet as defined in Oxford Dictionary: “A number of vehicles or aircraft working together, or under the same ownership.” (edit: use actual Oxford definition)

Dropped my Model Y off for a warranty repair a few weeks ago. Asked the service desk if they needed the key, they said no. Apparently they can access the car whenever they like.

All car manufacturers have had master keys for the past 100 years, it’s not a new concept.

Well it’s the first time I’ve ever had to not give keys when handing a car over, so clearly something is different.

I've never seen an in-car video feed shared by Tesla. Nor can I find any reference to such an incident.

It seems to be an anti-Tesla lie. I can find no reference to such a video.
