If they dodge the data center, it will eventually be a 1000 house neighborhood or 5000 unit apartment complex, and there will be 20x as much traffic, zero useful infrastructure improvements, and the city/county will pay for it all.

There's a pic of the letter from Tesla that says exactly that and a video of the car disabled.
If it's faked he did a pretty good job... And set himself up for a hefty lawsuit from them.
