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?

      Still taking “preorders”, which is basically a spot in line. Only going to be sold in US to start apparently. Which is unfortunate, because it would make a great little farm truck.

    I’m curious about it too, especially knowing whether there are any car brands that are more privacy friendly than others.

      I actually appreciated the article. The section about my car’s manufacturer was comprehensive and I learned a lot.

      Scary times we live in.
