That is why I am sticking to my Citroens and Peugeot.
Newsflash: you don't need to put your car on the internet.
There's other sources of data: when you apply for financing, when you go for a service, and more.
Is there any recent car that doesn’t have some sort of privacy settings?
This is why if I ever own a car, it has to be an old gas runner with the engine/whatever else is needed replaced to make it an EV without all the non-optional spyware. Definitely not something from the past couple decades just to be a little more sure that there is a lower chance of any spyware being already present.
The car I put the most miles on (at least during the summer) doesn't even have an ECU, so yeah you guys can have fun with all that high tech nonsense.
