  It isn’t relevant that other cars also fail to respect privacy, and phones are even less relevant.

  Whataboutism isn’t going to get me to buy an EV that doesn’t respect my privacy.

  You can do what you want and I hope you get the results you deserve.

    Well, you could always go for a conversion kit on an old car.

    Hope this helps.

      Like a conversion kit to change an ICE car to an EV? Is that a thing?

        The only companies I see doing it have like 4 show pieces on their website with no indication of costs. I reckon some collector has paid bank for eg, their restored land rover to get converted and figured as long as it costs less than a tesla they’re good.

        I haven’t seen anything in the reasonable price for an ev conversion. I’d be happy to spend ~$15k getting my old car done but that doesn’t seem to be an option yet.

      I’ve been looking into it but it is an expensive way to go and not many old chassis make a good platform.
