If you own a Tesla, your car is covered in cameras that take images reviewed by Tesla employees, who share them with each other, joke about them, and make them into memes.
Presumably, Tesla knows which cars cameras took which photos, so pairing them up with the car owner wouldn't seem hard. Unless, that is, the owner takes seriously Tesla's claim that the cameras are there "to assist driving" and are “designed from the ground up to protect your privacy.”
Reuters's list of examples included a lot of faces. I don't suppose anyone at Tesla or elsewhere in Elmo's organization have access to facial recognition software. No?

Just coincidentally, I watched a CyberTruck teardown video, and the front fender trim can be pried off (no bolts, just snap fasteners), where there's a camera mounted that can be unplugged without tools also…
@evacide That's basically every new car. Even the Renault Twingo, which I drive at work, is always connected to Renault servers that can track my location in real-time. It's the new reality. That's why I own a 2014 Opel, whose highest technology reach is being able to play MP3 files.
