[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) In the now-released video, he mentions that it's all the cars that use the MED-platform, which happens to be electric cars. Specifically, he mentions these models: VW ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.7 Skoda Enyaq Audi Q4 e-tron Seat Cupra Born I don't know, if this is a comprehensive list. It's mentioned around 3:30 in the video. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Ah, thank you! So the Leon is not included, thank you for clearing that up (: permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago They do actually mention the Leon on one slide at 13:48 and then another at 16:35. The first is related to enrollment data, which is basically whether you're using their app + some metadata. The second one relates to their fleet management solution, which does allow them to collect position data, apparently. But I think, the Leon is not part of this leak, at least. At 22:26, they show the list of models that are part of the leak and the Leon is not mentioned. permalink fedilink source parent
