Disclaimers - Tesla MODEL 3 2020 Owner's Manual

Disclaimers

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; to defend Tesla; 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.
242
• Ordered by a court of law.
• Used for research purposes without
disclosing details of the vehicle owner or
identification information.
• Disclosed to a Tesla affiliated company,
including their successors or assigns, or our
information systems and data management
providers.

Tesla processes data collected from your
vehicle, please review Tesla's privacy policy at

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.
For additional information regarding how
Tesla processes data collected from your
vehicle, please review Tesla's privacy policy at

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, except the location where a
crash occurred. 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.
