Tesla workers shared 'intimate' car camera images, ex-employees allege: 'Massive invasion of privacy'

Tesla assures its millions of electric car owners that their privacy "is and will always be enormously important to us". The cameras it builds into vehicles to assist driving, it notes on its website, are "designed from the ground up to protect your privacy". But between 2019 and 2022, groups of Tesla employees privately shared via an internal messaging system sometimes highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers' car cameras, according to interviews by Reuters with nine former employees. Some of the recordings caught Tesla customers in embarrassing situations. One ex-employee described a video of a man approaching a vehicle completely naked.
