No, one implies active deception. The other is "unaccounted for use case".

This is (another) example of Tesla expecting customers to not just collect data for them, but pay for the privilege - witness the replacement of the eMMC which Tesla considers a consumable despite its inaccessible location and despite the fact it is not the owner "consuming" it, but Tesla, capturing telemetry data to send to Tesla for Tesla's benefit.

I rather doubt there's anything in the Tesla Bill of Sale that obligates me to provide battery health telemetry data to Tesla for their monitoring.
