if you’re american isn’t that the chevy bolt?

The bolt has buttons and no real smart features but it also has an infotainment tablet. It also still has gps and Wi-Fi and whatever else as options, so I don't particularly trust it not to be tracking everything. It's certainly miles better than most of the competition but it's still a modern car.

There are guides to disabling OnStar effectively which should assuage those concerns. Well, for the 23 and older models. Not sure about the new stuff.

A quick terminator on the cellular antenna makes it receive no cell signal - the other features that don't rely on cellular all continue working.
