This near-7-year-old link[0] always make me laugh.

- semi-extrinsic 6y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_Duster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_Duster This thing is definitely not internet connected. The basic trim does not even feature a radio at all, only standard space to fit a 1-DIN radio yourself. It has manual (roll down) rear windows. I don't know about the US, but I would be surprised if you can't buy an F150 that has no internet connection?
- vaccinator 6y agoYou probably can buy one with no network connection, that the user can use, but that doesn't mean that it isn't connected for other purposes.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoEh. Why spend the cash on a chip and service when the vehicle will need to be services eventually and all info can be downloaded then?
- vaccinator 6y agogood point. but real-time data is probably a bit more valuable.
- dombesz 6y agoYeah, the majority of Dacia models doesn't even come with an air conditioning by default. It's extra, but you know what, I like the idea that it can be left out :)
- eru 6y agoAir conditioning didn't really use to be a standard thing in European cars until quite a lot later than in the US.
- enragedcacti 6y agoyou can go buy a brand new Honda Civic today that has no cellular modem.
- vaccinator 6y agoI'm not doubting you but how did you check your claim? (but either way, no cellular modem doesn't mean no wireless connection)
- R0b0t1 6y agoEvery modern car has a black box that can be subpoenaed for accident information and may expose other incidental information.
- fuzxi 6y agoIs it connected to the internet, as the parent comment claimed?
- PhantomGremlin 6y agoNot quite all vehicles yet. Here's a list maintained by a company that's in the business of downloading and analyzing Event Data Recorder information: https://rimkus.com/media/pdfs/Event-Data-Recorder-Vehicle-List-Rimkus.pdf https://rimkus.com/media/pdfs/Event-Data-Recorder-Vehicle-Li... The only Porsche that appears on the list is the Taycan. I don't see any Ferrari cars on the list.
- nickserv 6y agoYup, this is part of the reason I just bought a Dacia Dokker. Another reason is that there's no touch screen anywhere.
- jatsepter 6y agoThere are still excellent cars without cellular links, like Mazda --still with refined driving and excellent reliability.
