answer: The target demographic of the car does not believe in privacy
They want everyone to know who they are and what they are doing at all times, and they have no sense of shame when they should.
Until someone is suspected of a crime, and subjected to a warrantless search when the feds ask Elmo for that data and receive it. Sure there's not a lot of overlap between Tesla owners and petty crime but I'm willing to bet there IS a lot of overlap between Tesla owners and guys growing pot in their garage.
They had probable cause for a search; didn't need a warrant.
