It's no secret that Tesla has full access to telemetry and videos taken by Tesla cars. If you buy one, your only hope is that your footage is not interesting enough to be watched by Tesla employees. I remember reading a story about Tesla employees having internal memes made of footage that showed people captured by Tesla's surveillance in various (mostly unflattering) situations.
All the cameras/video/telemetry etc is like HR.
It's not to help you.
I'm feeling sick!
I have a vinyl cutter, can anybody tell my the diameters and quantities of the cameras on these cars? I’d like to start making and selling stickers to cover over them all.
Covering it wouldn't work unless you're trying to cover other people's camera without their knowledge at what point you could just use spray paint. The cameras are integrated into everything from blind spot alerts and cruise control and will constantly notify the driver if it's covered (even if it's dirty or in pitch black and the camera thinks it's covered).
