Libertarians: we need to remove government regulation so the free market ushers in utopia!

@nealcurtis Seeing my dad, who is a huge paranoid about the government tracking you and stuff (and that's legit), become a Tesla owner is a trip. At least the government has theoretical oversight and barriers to keep it from just grabbing all the data your car is tracking right now. There's just NONE against the company, and the kicker: They can sell that data to the government and it's all legal and shit. You gave it away.

Not a libertarian though.
