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?

    Rule 2 of car ownership: never take it to the dealer for maintenance. Find a local shop and build a relationship with them.

    Rule 1 is never buy a new car/buy a car from a branded dealer. Cars lose up to 30% of their value when first purchased. Several years ago I bought a 3 year old car for half it’s new value - that’s how much they depreciate (a Honda no less). Brand dealers are pros at screwing you over.
