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?

      it’s hard to get a reliable 10 year old car with low milage… harder every year until it will be impossible sooner than later

        I just bought one today because of that. they’re just getting older the longer I wait, if I don’t need it right now, I might as well buy it so that it’s not getting rustier being driven by someone else

      Nothing; I’m currently driving cars even older than that. It’s just that as time goes on, it’s going to be harder and harder to find.

      That option becomes a more remote opportunity with each passing year as stock diminishes so trying to find a long-term solution now makes sense.
