      Privacy in terms of a large, rolling chinese surveillance machine covered in cameras, mics and sensors, full of chips and sporting bluetooth, cellular and wifi? I’m sure it’s fine.

        USA is already at nightmare level, and the big difference is the USA will use it against you where China can’t really reach you

        Anyways, I would appreciate any proof or comparison between the two

          Same. I’m looking into an EV, and I just want a simple car that goes and stops when I instruct it to. I don’t need any kind of always-online service, I don’t need cameras, etc, I just need to get to work and back.

            Well, the US did have the slate truck coming up for really barebones options… But tariffs ruined that for now. Some of the lower budget Korean EVs have limited/optional connectivity.
