I have an old truck with a seized engine just collecting rust. I would love to convert it to an electric vehicle once I have the money and time, unfortunately in my area such a mod wouldn’t be street legal so it would have to be a farm-only truck for now.
In Australia the Cupra e cars aren’t connected but it’s the single biggest complaint so I am sure new versions will “fix” that. Maybe the US has the non connected models?
I have a BYD and don’t care if China surveils me, and i am ok to trade that off to do things like charge remotely, cool or heat the car remotely before I get in etc What I do care about is my country surveiling me, their only intention for doing that is to do me harm if I don’t confrom.
on another note i always find it bemusing Americans claiming to be wary of surveillance, this the country of the NSA, Edward Snowden, Meta, Apple, Google, doorbell cams, internet cams, Amazon Echo, smart homes and on and on.
What I want is an electric car that doesn’t surveil me…looking into retrofitting.

Right after I made this comment I came across this post: https://slrpnk.net/post/35311449 seems relevant.
