If I ever have to buy a car, I'll either get a used one from the 00's or look for a "dumb" one. The amount of power that manufacturers wield over our own devices that we bought and paid for these days is nauseating.
Dacia and Renault keep leadning the lists for privacy-compatible cars. Especially Dacia really has nothing that could be privacy-problematic. The only thing they have is the regulation-mandated SOS button.
I've got a relatively smart one, but I unplugged the fuse that connects the "smart" module which also connects it to the "mothership" (manufacturer).
My newest car is a 2008 model for exactly this reason.
I find this one hard to believe.
There's a video of it
Well it's a crazy good thing nobody is able to edit video with cuts! And that getting a laser printer at home is highly illegal. And doing something to your vehicle pre trip and setting this marketing up for your career, also Impossible. Nobody in the history of vehicles has done anything like drain their oil to try and grab a free engine off warranty. Never. Not even once.
Definitely 100% true.
As everyone knows, the fact that video editing exists proves nothing is real
Did I say that? Am I the one saying it's true because there is a video? Keep trying.
Oops, turns out you don't own your car!
