Privacy in terms of a large, rolling chinese surveillance machine covered in cameras, mics and sensors, full of chips and sporting bluetooth, cellular and wifi? I’m sure it’s fine.
Same. I’m looking into an EV, and I just want a simple car that goes and stops when I instruct it to. I don’t need any kind of always-online service, I don’t need cameras, etc, I just need to get to work and back.
Well, the US did have the slate truck coming up for really barebones options… But tariffs ruined that for now. Some of the lower budget Korean EVs have limited/optional connectivity.
Yeah, I’m certainly looking around, but they also tend to have spyware. I just want a simple car that goes and stops when I say, and is really easy to repair if something goes wrong. EVs should be perfect for this, but for some reason manufacturers get away with tons of nonsense on them.
How does it compare to tesla in terms of privacy, ownership (DRM) and stuff?

USA is already at nightmare level, and the big difference is the USA will use it against you where China can’t really reach you
Anyways, I would appreciate any proof or comparison between the two

Eh, we’ll see how that turns out. If they can release here at the price point they wanted ($25k-ish), I’d probably get one.
If budget is the top of your list, EVs currently have high depreciation. You can easily find 2-year old EVs with low mileage for 50% off MSRP.
