My car has physical buttons for all the important stuff, standard dash interface for the panel, and runs open source software on the relatively small central infotainment screen.. And the telemetry and transmission stuff can be easily disabled by pulling a fuse or removing a module behind the screen, depending on your goals. It’s a 2023 bolt base package, no bells and whistles unless you count lane assist, which can be disabled, and the backup camera. If chevy stops supporting it, it’ll become a community project.

There are choices. Not many, but they are there.

Yeah very few. And they killed the volt so I wouldn't be surprised if the bolt is next.
