No offense, the current card/phone setup is utter *sugar*

Couple of FWIW, per the earlier discussion:
- Yes, you're theoretically giving Tesla permission to track your every move. You can see, however, in Location Services setup (hollow chevron vs solid chevron) that the app is using geofencing, not continuous location inspection. Certainly geofencing can functionally be used to capture near-continuous, but it's at least superficially only activating when you move.
- Location Services isn't wholly GPS and cellular dependent; it clearly also uses wifi sniffing and fixed-location-Bluetooth (e.g. beacons) and it may also use inertial movement inference.

(Also I'd be surprised if the location services wakeup was necessary for walk-away lock. Unlock, sure.)

I'm positive no one cares Tesla is tracking the user.

What the user cares, is WHERE IS THEIR DAMN TESLA?

Dude,where's my car? says thousands of people waiting on delivery.
