Mmm, but then they wouldn't be able to comply with even a court order to surrender the data in regard to an accident.

So I'm going to say... no, because the data are linked to a vehicle and thus to a person.

That’s not how it works. If the data is connected to the VIN it is likely considered Teslas data, not yours. (Just like googles logs are theirs, even though your IP/fingerprint is in there). The data they store explicitly against your identity is yours by right in those states that have decent privacy law. It doesn’t include secondary/tertiary/derived data.

If you request your data from Google - you don’t get any web logs… but they definitely have them.
