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.

Very few modern vehicles have a "sharkfin". And the Faraday cage isn't necessarily effective. Best thing to do is to disable the telematics module or find some way to remove the SIM (assuming it's not eSIM).
