    Our property shouldn’t surveil us.

    The inclusion of surveillance means that in various datacenters energy and fresh water are used to make various decisions about you without your consent.

    I would rather not own a new car. I would rather electrify my own vehicles. I have already electrified my bicycle.

    My right to privacy is not something I will let a corporation decide.

    I’m tired of moronic consumerism.

      I agree on nearly all points (I drive a Taycan and I’m glad to have modern safety engineering in my daily driver, and I don’t use the data service at all).

      What does ANY of that have to do with the specific drivetrain of electric vehicles?

      Your stance is against all new cars. Nothing to do with EVs specifically. And in that regard I do agree with you, that surveillance is unacceptable especially when it’s put into our personal property.

      Just weird thing to say in an EV specific context.

        I don’t think we need to worry about making new cars cheaper, even if it’s EVs.

        There are a lot more important priorities in America.

        I would rather see cheaper solar panels.

        It has to do with EVs in the sense that (practically speaking) every single one of them is new enough to be infested with surveillance, so (unlike with ICE) there’s no option to avoid it by going with an old vehicle.

        Also, nobody gives a shit about new ICE cars, so there’s no point in mentioning them when they weren’t within the realm of consideration to begin with.

        I love Sesame Street! Next, the Count will help us understand the cost difference between a bicycle and a car.
