If it keeps collecting telemetry it could upload it later if it ever gets the chance. Better it isn't collected in the first place.

Good point, but in practice I think the only way onboard data could be exfiltrated is by a dealer while the car is being serviced. If you DIY or hire an independent mechanic, this seems unlikely.
Or by the FBI, NSA, CIA, DHS, or some other interested entity.
If a TLA is interested in you then you don't need to worry about a data log in your car.

The kind of organized crime that those people should be focused on are also resistant to this kind of tracking. The cartels and gangs just use burner cars that they dump, possibly with the keys and title still in it. Good luck doing much with the log but you've got the log and even the entire car to try and gather all the evidence you want. This tracking is mainly for hemming up small fry and productive citizens.
That also means it isn't passed to your phone via android auto / carplay. Phone GPS is much worse than car GPS for road navigation. It's basically unusable.
I've successfully used it in my 2006 Ford Fiesta for about 10 years now...
The reliability is way better than GitHub's uptime.
Better even than my car's uptime.
You must work in telco.
99.9999% or it's unusable :P
My SO immediately sniffed out when the GPS antenna was unplugged from a car with carplay. Unacceptably low spouse approval factor.
