Even if Tesla itself doesn’t do that, it’s something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera’s (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).
The company “flock safety” operates license plate cameras across the country. They allow any subscribing law enforcement agency to access all of the data. I believe this includes agencies in foreign countries.
This is conjecture but don’t Teslas record everything around them. Couldn’t that be a form of distributed surveillance/botnet or something?
