Rapper Rick Ross claims he avoids Teslas out of concern that the partially driverless vehicles would take him somewhere he does not want to go.
โI wonโt rule out owning a smart car, but Iโve never taken a Tesla ride. Neverโฆ And the reason is that Iโve always harbored the suspicion that the government might access the carโs computer system, โRoss stated in an Instagram story on Tuesday.
Ross described an imagined scenario of a โagentโ driving a Tesla to bring him in for questioning while speaking to someone off camera. โWho is Rick? There, he is. Bring him over for interrogation instead, โRoss spoke while posing as the agent.
Later, according to Consequence of Sound, Ross claimed he thought Teslas would be able to reclaim themselves if their owners fell behind on payments.
Ever though there is no proof that law enforcement or other government authorities have even considered using remote control to operate Teslas
