I wanted to get others' takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies' security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren't safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

It's possible to get cars as new as 2019 where you can just pull a fuse. But it starts to get tricky.

Example my C7 Vette it only took about that (it was a bit of an ordeal to not brick the car) but it's not connected to shit anymore.

Telemetry data will still be saved in the car systems, but not broadcast anywhere. So not too bad

Right to repair must apply to cars as well.
