Cars that won't spy on you? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was considering buying a Chevy Bolt lately to use as my daily commuter but found out it collects a lot of data and phones it back. It's hard to do research on what kind of EV I could buy that doesn't collect your location data so I'm hoping someone here might have some good suggestions.

Haven't they been a year away from production since like 2009? I stopped following their developments at some point because it had been long enough back then.

They did have some unreasonable promises when they first started.

But now they're making their production intent cars. These are like 99% similar to what the production line will look like.

They're looking to have done all or most of their crash testing and safety tests before this time next year. If the planets align, there might be actual cars delivered to customers some time in 2025.
