Thats kinda my point. If my current car dies I'd like to replace it with an EV, but if even the ones used and 5 years old have this shit I'm not sure I'd want to compromise my privacy like that. My only options would likely be used plug in electric hybrids or early models of EVs that will likely need battery replacements/upgrades.
