I agree with you - their public disclosure of details of incidents over the years lacked... class.
Also, you can opt-out of all tesla data collection.
There are a few levels of this. One is in the car's UI, LITERALLY hidden at the bottom of "safety and security" there is a [Data Sharing] screen that you have to scroll to see. It supposedly prevents video clips from being uploaded to tesla. Other parts of the UI ask for permission, such as traffic-aware routing. I don't know about the new chrome-based browser - we know google has baked tracking baked into chrome.
Level two is basically "disable the SIM" no online access. Stuff doesn't work, like the map tiles won't load from google and loads of other data can't be transferred to tesla.
It's still not clear what happens with level two when you enter a service center, because onboard wifi will auto-connect to tesla APs.
