Do you have a phone in your pocket?
If you do then congratulations. All of the data your car would collect is already out there for sale to the CCP.
If you're talking about people who have high level sensitive conversations in cars, then yes. But that's an incredibly small group and they have those conversations in government vehicles that are all made in the US.
Yes, it runs grapheneos.
Irrelevant.
I'm talking about the mass deployment of spying devices across an entire country mapping every street running facial recognition collecting military related data. The idiot who buys the var who cares its everyone else.
The data they can just scrape from Google maps? Hell they can see where soldiers are deployed because of their fitness apps sharing running routes on social media.
This is black helicopter level conspiracy shit.
Riiiight so if its so conspiratorial why has China banned teslas from being within kilometres of any Chinese military establishment?
They aren't banned for the surrounding areas. They don't want them on military bases or used by government/military officials.
That's kind of funny though, we have satellites. We know what their bases look like. Unless they drive their cars into the facilities we can't get anything extra from their car.
