This is my primary concern about Teslas. I'd love one from a pure tech and driving point of view, but I'm not willing to submit to a panopticon just to get one.

My second concern is aftermarket serviceability. I would never buy a car that the manufacturer could later remotely disable (leaving me with no recourse) just because they feel I've breached their ToS or something. Tesla is far too much like Silicon Valley software companies in that regard - 99.9% of the time "you'll be fine", but the other 0.1% of the time you're screwed and there's no way to fix it.
