Most, if not all car companies collect and profile your data, how can I improve my privacy when buying a modern car? (www.mozillafoundation.org)

I think car privacy isn't talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

    it's hard to get a reliable 10 year old car with low milage… harder every year until it will be impossible sooner than later

    I just bought one today because of that. they're just getting older the longer I wait, if I don't need it right now, I might as well buy it so that it's not getting rustier being driven by someone else

    Yes but if you start building that kind of community they will stop being janky.

    It's honestly a good place to start.

    As people learn how to do it, and discover all the landmines of doing it, that will clear the path fire the next generation of modders and custom work. This would create an opportunity for new markets.

    I mean just look at where 3d printing is today. It's great how far that enthusiast culture has grown and developed. No reason it can't continue.

    Sand things like the Slate truck that is intentionally developed for you to modify, could accelerate that exact community.

    Honestly if you can get me the funding, I'll start this community myself
