If you care about not being tracked, look up how to remove the cellular modem in your car. I found instructions on how to do this with my vehicle and it's pretty easy.

Till they get rid of car ownership; then you are on the hook for damaging their car.

Yeah but I'll be dead before that happens!

Better get to it then. I'm predicting somewhere in the next 5 years, true car ownership will be dead for new cars

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We're already at that point. I will never buy a new car.

Is it different for used "newish" cars? Or were you referring to used "pre 2018" cars?

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Depends on the manufacturer and model.
