Thanks. I'd pay more for an EV that doesn't build in any tech at all outside of the primary function of the car.

We need to draw a line between "essential auto technology" and the internet-connected convenience tech. I would love an open source project like GrapheneOS for autos. Or even just a tablet I can connect to the power and the stereo/mic for any sort of internet connected functionality (GPS, music, etc). Either way I want my open source OS to manage the modem firmware as I have no trust in these companies.
