    And almost all cars in the US have telecommunication infrastructure already to track what you’re saying. Can someone from the US just buy a car from overseas, if they need one, that doesn’t have tracking?

      In Canada, we’re allowing the first wave of ~50K Chinese EVs into our market this year, and all you hear is panic about whether we can trust a company beholden to the Chinese government. It’s all just so hypocritical… we’re fine with sharing our most intimate thoughts with western social media, smart phones and cars, but as soon as it’s another country, we should be terrified. Hate none of it or hate all of it.

      I mean, what car would that be? I saw a report last year, all 25 manufacturers they looked at were doing this shit. It’s not a US only problem.
