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.

    Look into which ones have the modem on a dedicated fuse for easy disabling. The modern F150 generation, including the Lightning EV truck, have a single fuse you can pull that disables a few things, none of which are vital.
