>Your car is filmed and recognized by other teslas. - coolspot Is this true?
- filmed: definitely - recorded: not sure (probably not long term) - recognized: unlikely

Anonymizing your location - until you put in route and your car asks for traffic information from teslas servers.
If the map can't talk to Tesla it'll use Google maps directly. I usually don't allow connections to Tesla on my rooted Model 3

Your car is filmed and recognized by other teslas.
That's why I also rotate license plates and repaint my car twice a year.
Better put an apple tag in your car just in case.

A vast majority of kidnappings are done by family members. It's a movie thing that a ski mask vigilante enters your home to kidnap you. I'm almost 100% positive there's virtually no risk of being kidnapped at home by ski-mask wearing criminals that staked your house previously. Or, if you are in that specific, very small target group for e.g. ransom etc, you probably should've been investing in home security beyond a…
> Or, if you are in that specific, very small target group for e.g. ransom etc, I am, as are many thousands of other people, in different fields. Although some of my personal circumstances contribute to my risk being especially high, even within these fields. > you probably should've been investing in home security beyond a front door camera anyways. I have, to an extent that has been called unreasonable by multiple…

In Germany, dash cams specifically are a bit of a gray area, but for example CCTV of any public areas is generally illegal. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/tesla-warns-its-camer...
I think EU countries are supposed to be using the same legal privacy framework, although the exact way the laws are phrased and interpreted might differ from country to country. I believe in Spain, generally speaking, it is legal to record your interactions with someone when you are in public. But I think many people are not aware that this is legal, including some police officers, because privacy laws are perceived…

$600 is not cheap. What model year do you have? Does Porsche not provide an update or possibility to upgrade.
If $600 is something you have to think about, you should never own a Porsche. If you can't afford to maintain an expensive car, you can't afford to purchase an expensive car.
Can they fix the power steering too then? Ref: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/08/steering-failures-are-t... Apparently it's a software problem.

No, the word "autonomous" should not be used in conjunction with any Tesla vehicles. That means it can drive itself with no one inside. No Tesla vehicle is anywhere near autonomous.
Can electric car be not a computer-powered car?

Still, there are only 2 options: 1. This scenario makes the car cheaper for the poorer customers, so they benefit from it. Or at least, it doesn't increase the price, so they get the added benefits of being able to upgrade their car more easily and cheaply than going to back to the shop to install the extra hardware. 2. Or, this situation makes the car more expensive for the poorer customers, but since they are much…
>1. This scenario makes the car cheaper for the poorer customers, so they benefit from it. Pardon my ignorance, but if the cost of the hardware is already baked into the cost of the cheapest options, which means they are paying for all of the hardware they have in their cars, including the hardware they can't use, how do they benefit? Cost, in that situation, is determined simply by the need to assemble efficiently.…
The idea is that the “cheaper” models are getting the hardware at a discount. Very simply: are getting $30,000 of hardware for $25,000 because features aren’t active. Others are willing to pay $35,000 for the same hardware with the features active. Obviously this example is over simplification of pricing and value, but that’s the general idea.
