Better fix: switch to an EV!

  Now you get to listen to ads for 15mn instead if 2!

  Spend $40k to avoid some ads at a gas station? I hate ads but come on... Plus you're ignoring how privacy invasive most EVs are, especially Tesla. They track everything you do.

    Buy a Chevy Bolt or a Hyundai/Kia, pretty easy to remove the modem from those.

    I'm sorry to break it to you, but most new gas cars are the same. New Toyotas have it, GM has had it for quite a while with OnStar, Ford probably has it, and if I bothered to dig more, almost all of them have it somewhere, cellular modem included. It's an industry problem at this point, and I really think some day we will have a mass terrorist disaster where some psychotic hacker group would hack all the badly secured cars everywhere, link into the CAN bus (because that is a GREAT idea for some braindead synergistic middle manager reasons) and cause run-away accelerations simultaneously everywhere on some clock script, killing millions and destroying trillions. I'm 50/50 hoping someone makes a popular movie about that, to scare governments world wide to force cars to have a fucking no network mode and no connections to the CAN bus and terrified if it would inspire said teenage psychopaths to do so...
