I think car privacy isn’t talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

    no, I paid to get a car without that telemetry, as it would be part of the condition of sale

    people don’t need to just accept what the dealer says. they can tell them to fuck off and go buy somewhere else

      I often find “free market baby” doesn’t work with monopolies, or if all companies are doing the same evil thing.

        true, effectiveness is not guaranteed

        but you can still opt out entirely. bought a 2012 without that bullshit just yesterday
