As a computer scientist, and all around maker/hacker, I find shit like this despicable. I'd love to be able to get a Tesla, download the data to my own lap top, and play around with their API's and what not, but it's not an option. Tesla owns all the data, and they can do whatever they want with it. No thanks.
All modern cars are all proprietary, and their hardware/software is mostly garbage that can't be tinkered with, fixed, or modified.
If that's the only option in the future, I'll take my welder, and my old cars and head for the hills to try and finish off the rest of my days in relative peace -- free of intrusive spying and advertising.
