Vehicle Telematics/Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with electronic
modules that monitor and record data from
various vehicle systems, including the motor,
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, we 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 described above and helps
ensure the proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Additional Model S 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.
•
Disclosed to a Tesla affiliated company,
including their successors or assigns, or our
information systems and data management
providers.
In addition, 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.
Quality Control
You might notice a few kms on the odometer
when you take delivery of your Model S. This is
a result of a comprehensive testing process
that ensures the quality of your Model S.
The testing process includes extensive
inspections during and after production. The
final inspection takes place at Tesla Motors and
includes a road test conducted by a Tesla
technician.
