Thanks. If you choose to not submit data anonymously (I do submit it), does your own collected statistical data remain only on your phone?
Also my understanding is, it's the phone directly communicating with the car (API), not some server (of yours)? The API itself might go through some sort of server of Tesla's and this app doesn't differ from the Tesla App in that regard.
Another way of saying it, if I deleted the app on my phone, all collected statistical data of mine is gone with it and nothing else has my credentials or data kept elsewhere (except perhaps my own iCloud backups). Again, this is in the context that I didn't submit my statistical data anonymously.
And for others curious minds, the app does NOT automatically submit anonymous stats and prompts you if you want to contribute or not.
For the record, the Teslafi.com model is uncomfortable to me. Like if something went wrong (say a bug or site was hacked) I don't like a 3rd entity independent access to my car. If something goes wrong in this model (your Stats app) I can turn off my phone, kill the app or delete the app. MY phone keeps control. This assumes the answer to my question above is that only the phone communicates to the API
. If a bug or hack happened on Teslafi.com I might not be able to "disable it" because the site has a bug or has been hacked to lock me out.
