There is a very big difference in the privacy problems posed by Facebook compared to Tesla. Equating the two is a clear false equivalence.

> Why does that bother you?

Because you exclusively use logical fallacies in these posts to make points that make no logical sense.

> whether Tesla will start caring about privacy as well

This implies Tesla does not care about privacy. That simply is not true. If you have a concern, voice it in some logical manner, not in some accusatory already-made-up-your-mind tone about how so-and-so doesn't care about your privacy.

Edit 2: Does Elon really babble on Twitter about people's speeds and driving locations? I don't think so. And surely if you drive a car then you know that the people in the city/state/federal government offices and other tracking corporations also know where you go at all times anyway. Having a Tesla and driving it does not meaningfully invade your privacy in any fashion more than driving any other car does.

I think it's worth bringing up, one of the reasons I didn't buy a Tesla was because I didn't want the CEO immediately blabbing all over twitter about exactly how fast I was driving or how many times I left my lane if there happened to be some sort of accident.

They seem to take the same attitude as Facebook, mainly: we own all your data and you have zero rights to anything in the car.
