Chamberlain v. Home Assistant

You can opt out. The car works quite well without connectivity, entirely unlike the cloud-mandatory and app-only nonsense certain other companies require for a goddamn light bulb. Or, in this case, a garage door.

So? if you don't want to share your data, turn that off.

Granted that Tesla could be somewhat more transparent WRT their data use. On the other hand, the cars do have an API which, while neither cloud-free(*) nor documented officially, is stable enough to support several third-party solutions, Home Assistant included. They don't lock anybody out, and until they do (which IMHO they won't) they're not the bad guys in the context of this article.
