You are arguing about / defending something completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

The actual article is about how Tesla claims that providing this data would be a competitive disadvantage that rivals could use.



Which is a very odd claim to try to make.

Would we accept Pfizer releasing a new pill without evidence?

“It’s better at preventing heart attacks than anything else. But we can’t show you data, that would hurt our competitive advantage.”


Pfizer provides the data to the FDA which decides whether to approve the medication, and releases only a subset of the data to public.

> The records must be reviewed to redact “confidential business and trade secret information of Pfizer or BioNTech and personal privacy information of patients who participated in clinical trials,” wrote DOJ lawyers in a joint status report, filed Monday.

...

> But we can’t show you data

Tesla shows the data to the NHTSA whose experts look at it and can force recalls so your analogy and argument make no sense.
