Generally avoid posting idiotic things this guy says, but as most people know as offensive as this guy is he's been sure not to offend anyone powerful and it seems like he's finally picked a side. Hopefully this will the straw that break the camel back for the Conservatives.

The Conservative leader called for a ban on Chinese software, matching the US.

“We will protect the North American supply chains by keeping the 75% rule in place, harmonise the North American cybersecurity rules by banning Chinese software, and align with our partners on the tariff against China to counter unfair trade and increase our negotiating leverage,” he stated.

The only EV I can currently find on the market that lets you turn off telematics is by BMW.

There’s an EV that lets you turn off telematics??? Which BMW is that? How verifiable is it that they’re actually turning off the signal?

    The iX and i4 series supposedly have a menu option that disables most of it, and if you disconnect the SIM card in the shark fin, the rest of the vehicle keeps operating as normal (with a warning that it’s been disabled).

    It’s pretty verifiable as you can disable the hardware.
