Unfortunately all new cars, including EV's, sold in the American market have been repurposed into intelligence gathering apparatuses.

I will not buy any car that has any generation of cellular modem built-in, let alone AI cameras to constantly scan my face.

Which means I'll probably be driving 2010 era vehicles for the rest of my life, which frankly I'm okay with.

So even if they regulate or ban subscription car features, you're still stuck with a giant 24/7 spy box in your garage.

This it the main deterrent for most "innovations" these days. No, im not going to subscribe. If you require a subscription its a non starter.

Curious what subscriptions you’re talking about. I have an EV and I pay for traffic and the iphone app, but both of those require cell service and remote servers that need upkeep. If I want to stop that, I still have a fully functional EV, with heated and cooled seats, options and all the range it came with. It’s a 2024 Audi too.
