How to Turn Off Location Tracking on Tesla?
2 Answers
Open the Tesla-supported app, click the options at the bottom of the app interface as needed to manage the vehicle and disable location tracking. Tesla supports remote control functions such as charging, air conditioning, ventilation, and unlocking.
As a Tesla owner, I often help friends with car settings. To turn off the location feature, you can operate on the Tesla central control screen: after starting the vehicle, enter the main menu and find 'Settings', then click 'Safety & Privacy', where there is a 'Location Sharing' option to turn off. This can reduce the car company's tracking of your location and improve privacy protection. However, please note that after turning it off, navigation services will be completely disabled. For example, you won't be able to use GPS positioning when you can't find your way. Remote functions such as checking the vehicle's location via the mobile app will also be unavailable. I think weighing the pros and cons, if you're really concerned about privacy, occasionally turning it on and off is fine, but driving safety comes first—don't turn it off when you need navigation. Long-term deactivation may affect the response of the anti-theft system. In short, the operation is simple and can be done in just a few seconds.
