Cars and their privacy and security concerns

I think car privacy isn’t talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

    So, the options I see here are:

    • Buying an older vehicle
    • Disconnecting the modem and dealing with the car potentially refusing to work after a period of time or potentially uploading locally saved data when taken for service
    • Spending a lot of time and money to convert an old ICE car to an EV and dealing with a janky EV that probably has a limited range under 100 miles

    None of these are great options.
