No touch screens, no telemetry, no cellular modems, no wifi, no apps, no subscriptions, no infotainment.

    Chevy Bolts have almost every piece of modern tech in cars. Display screens, limited physical dials and buttons, car and pedestrian sensors, cameras everywhere (though luckily none in the cabin facing the inside), GPS, OnStar, and data telemetry. The last two can at least be mitigated by terminating the data line antenna cables to stop the car from phoning home all the time.

      They have physical buttons for just about everything you regularly need to do. Otherwise yeah they’re fully connected and have all the sensors for tracking

      Yeah but I feel going forward it will be harder to find something like this. At least my 2022 has buttons for all the important things like air conditioner and stuff.

      The new bolt gets rid of android auto so you would need to give the car data for any of the functionality, on the older ones using graphene os with sandboxed android auto you can still use sideloaded apps and stuff.

      My brother drives an older fiat ev and that is pretty much just a converted old gas car with a key ignition and everything but the range is only like 80 miles
