The 2024 Tesla Model 3 has some of the most advanced navigation, autonomous driving, and safety features currently on the market, meaning it’s full of equipment that can record and track your surroundings—and you. How much data does Tesla collect? Where is it stored? And can you trust them to protect your sensitive information? WIRED decided to investigate.

Don't have to worry about it as long as you don't buy a swasticar

Well even if you don’t buy / own / rent one, you might still be impacted by the surveillance

Exactly this. Especially with Teslas, some of their many cameras that complete a 360 degree view around the car can see up to 250m.

There's a picture out there somewhere that has a visual representation of the view distances, but I'm failing miserably at finding it.

Hate to break it to you but many of the major car brands have incredible amounts of surveillance happening in their modern cars coming out nowadays.
