    Do you have a phone in your pocket?

    If you do then congratulations. All of the data your car would collect is already out there for sale to the CCP.

    If you’re talking about people who have high level sensitive conversations in cars, then yes. But that’s an incredibly small group and they have those conversations in government vehicles that are all made in the US.

      Yes, it runs grapheneos.

      Irrelevant.

      I’m talking about the mass deployment of spying devices across an entire country mapping every street running facial recognition collecting military related data. The idiot who buys the var who cares its everyone else.

        The data they can just scrape from Google maps? Hell they can see where soldiers are deployed because of their fitness apps sharing running routes on social media.

        This is black helicopter level conspiracy shit.

      Just because I already was backdoored without a lube by person A, doesn’t mean I’d love to be backdoored again by person B.

        It doesn’t make sense to bar an entire sector of EVs over it either though. Caring about it only when that country does it is the peak of bigotry and simping for the executives who would happily grind you down for profit.

          I’d prefer to be ground down for profit by greedy american pigs than be put in a concentration camp by the CCP.

            And how is the CCP going to put you in a camp in the US? You sound like conservatives who are afraid the UN will declare a peace keeping mission here.
