    Paywall bypassable via 12ft.

    Tesla drivers have sued the company over claims that its employees were able to use their cars’ cameras to see inside houses and share videos of naked customers.

    A class action lawsuit filed in California alleges that Elon Musk’s firm broke privacy laws by allowing staff to freely share images captured from its electric vehicles (EVs).

    It comes after reports that Tesla employees had unfettered access to users’ video feeds, allowing them to witness accidents, pets, naked owners and the inside of Mr Musk’s house.

    Reuters quoted multiple former employees saying the images were often shared between staff via internal messages and often “spread like wildfire”.

    Paywall bypassable via 12ft.

    I live in the Bay Area and people are always surprised when I say I have no interest in owning a Tesla. This only further validates my decision.
