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?

    1. Remove the modem, sometimes called the TCU.
    2. Buy a Slate truck. It has no connectivity.

    E: if you have the disposable funds or the skills you can do an EV conversion.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if it kept all the data internally and then published it to their servers when you go for to a service center or do maintenance.
