As the title says - I'm currently looking for an EV to replace our old gas-powered car. Do you guys know of any recent EV reviews - by the Mozilla foundation or others - regarding the privacy aspect of the cars?

My impression currently is that the problem has intensified, not lessened, since 2023. I'd love to be wrong though.

I followed the guide and can confirm it didn't disable Bluetooth or the compass. The data line was capped using a 50 ohm terminator that was then wrapped in alternating layers of plastic and metal tape with to make a rudimentary Faraday cage. The GPS line was kept on so the compass works just fine.

I meant the fuse pull.
