At this point, I'm not sure why anyone would actually buy a Tesla. The alternatives are far less expensive, the "features" of a Tesla are unpolished and dangerous, and the money doesn't go to a megalomaniac with a god complex.

What's everyone's suggestion?

I want the dumbest smart car available. Like a Honda Civic but just electric. No smart features.

Most smart features can be disabled on modern cars if you dont want to use them.

The tracking is harder, but if you are willing to remove the stereo head unit, a lot of brands have their GPS junk attached to it.
