I'm all for WFH and EVs personally. Haven't bought an EV yet but I would like to have a non-spyware-laden one for a reasonable price.

The spyware part. Agh!!

A big motivator for keeping my early-2000's car with almost 215,000 miles on it is just how CREEPY modern cars are.

Mozilla's "Privacy Not Included" column really highlighted this. It's terrible and it's currently all legal and you can never really trust you've circumvented it.

Sucks too, because those "Canoo lifestyle vehicles" or the new VW bus EV look so cool....but they have crap like face-monitoring cameras and app-connectivity in them. What the heck.
