    Yeah I want a fancy car but I’m concerned about how hard it is to stop it phoning home.

    That doesn’t stop car manufacturers from selling data from literally every other make/model and hacking up my rates.

      You can’t.

      They have integrated the telematics so deeply that theyre not even a separate part.

      You could turn off all internet.connectivity, but so many people would not tolerate living without the conveniences they like. No caplays, remote start, etc.

        I got carplay with a 3rd party screen and audio from a 3.5mm jack in my old ass Honda.

        I’ll survive with some convenience.

          Me, in a 2002 with a bluetooth speaker jammed above the ashtray/cig lighter because the tape deck is worn out: The fuck is “carplay?” I miss my tape deck.
