I wanted to get others' takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies' security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren't safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

Most of the cars will still try to connect to open Wifi when available to upload data.

Very nice ! That's when you can start spying on your car's behavior.

Not really. If they use TLS / HTTPS then you won't see a damn thing.

Yeah. Believe me most of these embedded controllers are not very well programmed. Play a bit with fake certificates and I won't be astonished if you to catch something.
