My impression is the charging stations have cameras to deter and catch thieves. Tesla isn’t looking at your camera feeds unless you’ve enabled the right data sharing setting, in which case I imagine they could. Otherwise the charging stations / video comment is pointless because they could have watched the driver the entire way, not just at the stations.
Edit: Also the sharing of camera feeds if enabled, I’m pretty sure is only the external cameras, not the cabin camera.
And yes if you go to a charging station, of course they know you were there and can track your path between stations. You use a credit card when you’re at them and it authenticated your vehicle.
Right, but those were the external cameras and they had data sharing on.
If the car is getting data about how to park in a garage, and you have data sharing on, you might send it video of you parking your car in your garage.
Edit: Oh but this part isn’t good, but it sounds like they stopped - One ex-employee also said…Tesla would receive video recordings from its vehicles even when they were off, if owners gave consent. It has since stopped doing so.

If you believe them.
I don’t.
