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?

The problem with the "just buy old cars" is that I want a used electric car for like $10k.

We need a wiki of EVs that.has a section on each model enumerating which components are used to spy on you and videos showing how to neuter them.

The best privacy from an EV is an electric bicycle

And then they'll add the same tracking to them too.

My ebike comes with a GPS tracking app to locate it. Luckily it's optional but it's already begun
