This CEO asked a celebrity customer to cover up a safety issue, instead of making it public.

He also probably has a collection of videos of customers having sex who didn’t notice the video camera inside their car recording everything.

Elon Musk explains reason for Tesla Model 3’s mysterious cockpit camera

The Tesla Model 3 has eight cameras on the outside of it to help enable its driver aids and security features, but there’s also one inside that doesn’t do anything…yet.

But it may help you earn money one day, if Telsa’s plans for an autonomous ride-hailing network come to fruition.

CEO Elon Musk has previously detailed the long-term goal for such a system, which would theoretically allow owners of fully self-driving Teslas to hire them out as taxis when they’re not using them for themselves.

Responding to a Twitter question about it from one of his followers, Musk revealed that the camera above the rearview mirror is primarily there to keep an eye on passengers using the service and provide evidence if anyone “messes up” a car.

He added that the cameras can also see out of the windows to provide additional input for other features.

While some have speculated that it could also be used as a monitor to help assure that a driver is watching the road while using the semi-autonomous Autopilot system, Musk did not suggest that possibility, instead pointing out that owners will have the option of turning it off completely.

A recent CNBC report detailed how much unencrypted personal data, including video, is stored onboard a Tesla and able to be extracted after an accident if not intentionally wiped clean by the owner. – Source

Sheryl Crow gives Elon Musk Tesla advice on Twitter after she gets stuck in a parking lot

On Thursday, billionaire Elon Musk headed to Manhattan federal court, facing off with federal regulators over a tweet.

But on Wednesday, Musk was doing some more innocuous tweeting — giving a rock star in distress some personal Tesla customer service.

Singer Sheryl Crow tweeted to her 320,000 followers on Wednesday that she was stuck in a parking lot in her Tesla with a black screen, asking if anyone knew how to fix it. (Presumably, Crow was referencing the central navigation screen.)

Someone did know what to do: Tesla CEO Musk.

“Change your screen preference from night mode to auto,” Musk tweeted to Crow. “Night mode with 0% brightness is actually too dark during the day. This is ultimately our fault. We will update our software so that 0% brightness is always usable relative to ambient conditions.” – Source
