This is a horrifying view of the world even on its face, but also: even if we anticipate that people might do the wrong thing, it is still wrong and it is still appropriate to condemn that wrong and call for justice.

Is the OP saying Tesla shouldn't be condemned? When a friend's car gets stolen, I reserve the right to condemn the thief and tut-tut at her for leaving the doors unlocked.

You can of course blame the victim while also blaming the perpetrator. As you point out, they're not mutually exclusive. But if your communication to your friend focused exclusively on her actions—like the comment does—then yes, I think that would be worthy of criticism.

Wake me up when there's an EV that is just a car and not an always-connected surveillance device on wheels.

That is the vehicle I want.

A bare bones, maximum efficiency, rugged EV.

A man can dream.

Can you link to this regulation or coverage of it?

I can find a proposed requirement for data portability when cars are connected (the European Data Act; https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_...) but nothing of the nature you're describing.

BMW i3 was such a car, but they stopped making it. I loved mine (2014) but sold it needing longer range than first year battery size allowed.

Reminds me of the time I bought lunch at work, and a colleague told me exactly what I bought and how much I paid for it. I called him out and said it was a lucky guess, and then he proceeded to tell me my entire payment history for the past 2 days.

Was this just Paytm's history, or all of your digital payments history (ie all transactions outside Paytm)?

I'm guessing it's the former, but I'm just too paranoid to not ask...

I'm so glad I've never heard of that service and have no idea what it is. Thanks very much for calling them out by name, BTW. Presumably someone from that company is reading this as we speak - and soon enough, will be reporting back to us that that employee has been identified, and of course, duly fired. Right, PayTM? (BTW - that's some "colleague" you have).

Justice is when an Internet mob gets someone fired based on an unsubstantiated comment on an anonymous forum. We did it Reddit!

Piss off with this low grade comment. Obviously nobody expected that Tesla employees would be sharing photos of them fucking in their work chats for their own amusement.

There always will be such employees, probably most of them are never find out or not made public.

... Which is why companies that are ran by adults have access controls and audits for user data.

Ones that aren't ran by adults get sued, and deserve everything they get coming to them.
