Is there anything I can do besides refuse to buy a car that collects telemetry? Are there such cars still being manufactured?

- ElFitz 2mo agoI guess the only option nowadays is to buy an old used car. Soon some of us will be back to using typewriters.
- xtiansimon 2mo ago> “… back to using typewriters” Back to using vehicles with _fuses_.
- wkjagt 2mo agoI'm fixing up a 1981 Volvo 240. It would be wonderful if it could replace my EV one day.
- exabrial 2mo agoMost sensible cars have modules that fail independently. I pulled the modem out of my 2018 k2 and it still works just fine. With newer, esp electric vehicles, there is an absolutely clear trend of non-repairability; failure rather than resiliency. Don’t expect the ability to do this forever.
