Is there anything I can do besides refuse to buy a car that collects telemetry? Are there such cars still being manufactured?

Most sensible cars have modules that fail independently. I pulled the modem out of my 2018 k2 and it still works just fine.

With newer, esp electric vehicles, there is an absolutely clear trend of non-repairability; failure rather than resiliency. Don’t expect the ability to do this forever.

I guess the only option nowadays is to buy an old used car.

Soon some of us will be back to using typewriters.

I'm fixing up a 1981 Volvo 240. It would be wonderful if it could replace my EV one day.

Then don't put the spying tech in the car in the first place maybe ?
