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 best privacy from an EV is an electric bicycle

        You can haul a lot of weight by bike, especially if you use a trailer. How often do you really haul things? Just rent a panel van on days you want to move shit.

          I live on a bicycle, but I’m going to be building a house soon, which is why I was looking at buying an EV.

          An EV van has the same privacy issues, and we’re back at square 1

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

        Not all. Bosch equipped ebikes send name/address when they get serviced.neither rad nor aventon have systems smart enough to record data at all. I dont think shimano ebikes are smart either.
