Vehicle Telematics
Cybertruck 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 Cybertruck 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.
• 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.

For additional information regarding how Tesla processes data collected from your vehicle, please review Tesla's Privacy Notice at http://www.tesla.com/about/legal.

anyone with Tesla insurance had an accident in the Cybertruck, and you know that it wasn't your fault, but Tesla let you take the blame.
Because the Tesla adjuster working on your case got fired and nobody representing your side was there to fight for your rights, so they left the decision to the other parties, which, of course, decided in their client's favor. even though I have provided proof. it was ignored.

Okay, so here's what happened this morning. About four months ago, at 10:30 am, I was leaving a friend's truck repair shop. I parked my cyberbeast in the alleyway, which is a one-way street. I parked out of the way, of course, but it was still in the middle of the street. So, I left and exited the alley. I was intending to turn left out of the alley, but since the parked cars along that street blocked my view and she was crawling behind them, looking for a parking spot, I had to inch forward enough to see down the road. I saw her moving slowly. I had enough time to accelerate and safely pass her, but I decided to wait out of respect, knowing she had the right of way. So, I stopped to let her go past first. However, she never corrected her path, even though she had plenty of time and space. I was completely stopped before she hit my vehicle. I believe she made a conscious decision to hit me because she even accelerated and turned into me. The first thing I asked her was, "Why did you hit me?" She had the biggest smile, like she found it all amusing. I told her she must not have been paying attention or might have been looking at her phone. That’s not the real reason, but yes, I wasn't paying full attention because I was looking for a parking spot. Still, it's not my fault, even though I was not paying attention, I had the right of way. That doesn't give her the right to hit anything that’s in her path, especially if she’s not paying attention. Immediately after the collision, I honked to record and save the last ten minutes and the next 25 minutes. Later that day, I checked my settings to confirm the record on Honk feature was turned on, and it was. I figured, whatever—that it doesn't matter what she says, the video will show she intentionally hit my truck, and she had plenty of time and space. I took good pictures with my phone, made a police report, and soon after, my adjuster contacted me just as I was about to review the videos captured by the onboard cameras because I used the horn. I was sure I had the event on video. But when I pulled the memory stick out of the truck and was holding it in my hand, my adjuster called me, and I explained everything in detail. I asked how I could share the video evidence—whether I needed to find the right file and send it. He said he just needed my permission to access the data. I asked if I should put the memory stick back into the truck so he could access the video, and he said, "It's not necessary, but it's probably a good idea." He then told me he’d analyze the video, compile a clip of the event, and send me a copy plus one to the other party. I agreed, expecting the video to prove it was her fault. After I hung up, I made a copy of the entire memory stick and put it back in my truck. I went through the whole disk, but nothing from the ten minutes before the incident was there. The record on the honk didn't work! So, after permitting access and sharing my video data, my adjuster got fired, and no one notified me. It was supposed to take about seven days to compile, edit, and send the video, but after seven days, he was nowhere to be found. I was left to fend for myself. I didn't think that I needed to contact the other insurance company myself because Tesla didn't do it; they just decided to call it in their client's favor. Case closed. Wtf!
