I think car privacy isn't talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

By "tonnes", do you mean 2,000lb or 1,000kg? In an engineering context, "ton" is the former and "tonne" is the latter.

"Tonne" is also synonymous with "long ton" (dur to converting to 2204.6lb), as well as "metric ton".

Metric tonnes, as that seems to be the generally used format when discussing CO2 emissions.

Which I know may be confusing, given that I quote imperial values in the rest of the stats - but it was just quick/dirty math and I figured that EV disinformation is highest in the US, so I tried to tailor the values for them.
