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?

No no, after initial degradation, the battery health levels off and stays around 90% for a long while, generally.

My ICE vehicles are maintained but don't have the new car fuel efficiency either. I wouldn't be surprised to find they have lost 15% since they are pretty old.

Recent research shows that batteries are likely to outlast the body of most EVs, if the battery is not abused.

Also, people overestimate the typical daily range used with the primary or secondary vehicles, but even short range EVs cover the average daily drive for most.

That'll certainly be very interesting to see how accurate that is over time. Would be a game changer.
