Car Privacy is Shit (programming.dev)

I wanted to get others' takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies' security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren't safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

Well, would be nice to be able to haul drywall and not get wet. There are some projects for this, but they're a bit immature and documentation is lacking

You can haul a lot of weight by bike, especially if you use a trailer. How often do you really haul things? Just rent a panel van on days you want to move shit.

I live on a bicycle, but I'm going to be building a house soon, which is why I was looking at buying an EV.

An EV van has the same privacy issues, and we're back at square 1
