They are using it in court cases, so it would not be a secret anyway.

The issue was that Tesla was only providing certain data that was being asked for.

You wouldn't know that it would be possible to ask for more information, unless you knew they were collecting it.

Now they know Tesla has this information they should be able to get it from them regardless if they have to decrypt it themselves or not.

(Unless Tesla decides to stop collecting data for some reason.)
