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?


They might, I don’t know. But I don’t go to the dealership anyway and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
That depends on the brand and location (& in some cases even warranty tos, lol), manufacturers licence & maintain
dealershipslicenced mechanics/shops differently. It’s (maintenance costs & quality) an important aspect of owning a car.But generally, yes.
Tho non-official shops sometimes connect your car to the mothercloud too, depending on what needs servicing.
