I'm sorry. Do you think that gas cars don't spy on you. Literally every car manufactured since 2000 has its own GSM/CMDA radio that is constantly connected and sending telemetry data to private corporations contracted by car manufacturers.

Those companies are constantly having security breaches too. Constantly

Get a Dacia Spring. Its like a classic car but BEV. And has a manual button that switches off all data transfer to the cloud.

Probably just stores it until you turn it back on. No way a company is going to just throw money away.

This shit can’t even determine it’s charging connection stare properly in cloud.

We all overestimate automotive capabilities in terms of cloud. Most of the companies make shit system with shit performance and capabilities.

At least some companies let you use the data too (eg https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bmw_connected_drive/). Mainly European companies.
