But EV’s take it to a new level with shit you just can’t disable.
I have a car with some of this shit. Just had to disconnect the cell antenna and attach a dummy to block it. Try that with an EV and it’ll probably have a heart attack.
How is that a “meh”? Don’t buy that nonsense. Show the automakers that we’re more willing to drive rust buckets than accept that new tracking nonsense.
It’s one of the big issues giving me pause on replacing our cars. I can either buy something a few years old and probably avoid it (need to do research), or I can get an EV and learn how to disable it.
You’re literally describing every new car now, whether EV or ICE.
Yup, and I won’t buy a new gas car either.
Meh, some/much of this is in every new car.

I share your sentiment but I’m aware that I’m very weird and most people don’t care about most of it.
Same. I wish more people shared some of my weird values (but not all of them).
