I agree with you. The section in the Tesla blog about what happens to the collected data when the vehicle is sold doesn't make it sound like this is just a temporary thing for people wanting to sign up for the FSD beta. Personally I don't want to be constantly monitored and scored (reminds me a lot of the "social scores" that are used in authoritarian countries to discipline people). I also don't want my car to snitch to my insurance company and be penalized when I have some fun (which I only do if it's safe). If they start collecting this data for everyone, that would be completely unacceptable IMO.I don't care because of some nebulous fear about being tracked or data being used for marketing. I find a gamified safety rating system patronizing, and really don't want to own a car with that feature. The fact that data privacy may be an avenue towards making sure I can still have a Tesla, without this being turned on, is simply a means, not an end.
