    Is there anything I can do besides refuse to buy a car that collects telemetry? Are there such cars still being manufactured?

      Most sensible cars have modules that fail independently. I pulled the modem out of my 2018 k2 and it still works just fine.

      With newer, esp electric vehicles, there is an absolutely clear trend of non-repairability; failure rather than resiliency. Don’t expect the ability to do this forever.

      I guess the only option nowadays is to buy an old used car.

      Soon some of us will be back to using typewriters.

        I'm fixing up a 1981 Volvo 240. It would be wonderful if it could replace my EV one day.

        Back to using vehicles with _fuses_.
