Tesla has no policy to prevent abusers from using its technology to stalk their victims.
A woman in San Francisco sued Tesla to block her abusive husband from using the company’s smartphone app to track her Model X. The husband was stalking her and had allegedly left a metal bat in the backseat of the car as a warning. She tried asking the company to restrict his access, but sued after she was told no. A judge ruled in Tesla’s favor.
Other companies, like GM and Rivian, are taking steps to prevent misuse of their connected cars. But not Tesla.
