Vehicle Telematics
Model 3 is equipped with electronic modules
that monitor and record data from various
vehicle systems, including the motor, Autopilot
components, Battery, braking and electrical
systems. The electronic modules record
information about various driving and vehicle
conditions, including braking, acceleration, trip
and other related information regarding your
vehicle. These modules also record
information about the vehicle's features such
as charging events and status, the enabling/
disabling of various systems, diagnostic
trouble codes, VIN, speed, direction and
location.
The data is stored by the vehicle and may be
accessed, used and stored by Tesla service
technicians during vehicle servicing or
periodically transmitted to Tesla wirelessly
through the vehicle's telematics system. This
data may be used by Tesla for various
purposes, including, but not limited to:
providing you with Tesla telematics services;
troubleshooting; evaluation of your vehicle's
quality, functionality and performance;
analysis and research by Tesla and its partners
for the improvement and design of our
vehicles and systems; and as otherwise may
be required by law. In servicing your vehicle,
Tesla can potentially resolve issues remotely
simply by reviewing your vehicle's data log.
Tesla's telematics system wirelessly transmits
vehicle information to Tesla on a periodic
basis. The data is used as previously described
and helps ensure the proper maintenance of
your vehicle. Additional Model 3 features may
use your vehicle's telematics system and the
information provided, including features such
as charging reminders, software updates, and
remote access to, and control of, various
systems of your vehicle.
Tesla does not disclose the data recorded in
your vehicle to any third party except when:
• An agreement or consent from the
vehicle's owner (or the leasing company
for a leased vehicle) is obtained.
• Officially requested by the police or other
authorities.
• Used as a defense for Tesla in a lawsuit.
• Ordered by a court of law.
• Used for research purposes without
disclosing details of the vehicle owner or
identification information.
184
• Disclosed to a Tesla affiliated company,
including their successors or assigns, or
our information systems and data
management providers.
In addition, and subject to local law, Tesla does
not disclose the data recorded to an owner
unless it pertains to a non-warranty repair
service and in this case, will disclose only the
data that is related to the repair. For additional
information regarding how Tesla processes
data collected from your vehicle, please
review Tesla's privacy policy at
www.tesla.com/about/legal.
Data Sharing
For quality assurance and to support the
continuous improvement of advanced features
such as Autopilot, Tesla measures road
segment data of all participating vehicles. All
Tesla vehicles can learn from the experience of
the billions of miles that Tesla vehicles have
driven. Although Tesla shares this data with
partners that contribute similar data, the data
does not include any personally identifiable
information about you or your vehicle. To
allow data sharing, touch Controls > Safety &
Security > Data Sharing, touch the Yes buttons
to confirm that you agree to allow Tesla to
collect the associated type of data, then
submit your response.
Note: Although Model 3 uses GPS in
connection with driving and operation, as
discussed in this owner's manual, Tesla does
not record or store vehicle-specific GPS
information. Consequently, Tesla is unable to
provide historical information about a vehicle's
location (for example, Tesla is unable to tell
you where Model 3 was parked/traveling at a
particular date/time).
Quality Control
You might notice a few km on the odometer
when you take delivery of your Model 3. This is
a result of a comprehensive testing process
that ensures the quality of your Model 3.
The testing process includes extensive
inspections during and after production. The
final inspection takes place at Tesla and
includes a road test conducted by a
technician.
