I don't give two shits if my BYD (or other of the Chinese evs that outclass tesla for less money) reports directly to Chairman Xi's laptop.

I also want the commemorative Release The Epstein Files Edition, in Atlantis Gray.

Yeah, honestly, all modern cars are spying on you already, and if something it to spy on you I'd prefer if it was reporting to someone on the other side of the globe vs. some company or government in your jurisdiction. The former may show you more annoying ads, the latter may literally put you in prison. (of course, it is possible that the former will sell your data to the latter, so it's better to avoid spyware alltogether)

china doesn't need spyware, they can buy all the data they could ever want direct from US corpos for pennies

I have excellent news for you about contemporary government spying. Spying on OUR citizens is bad, so we ask the foreign allies for that data.

I don't think China would willingly hand over precious data to the US/Canada governments. But it might be willing to sell it.

So our tax dollars are paying for our stolen data? Quite the win-win.
