I'll buy an electric car when

A) it won't spy on me and

B) I won't have to sign away my soul and first born to whatever car company I'm buying from

I hate to break it to you, but nowadays neither of those are exclusive to electric cars. Just sounds like you might never be buying a new car again.

It’s still easy to disconnect the cellular antenna if you’re fine with losing features like self driving and map updates.

This. Shit doesn't magically communicate with the company that made it. If they don't want their data used, don't connect it to wifi and disconnect the cellular antenna and pull the sim card 🤷‍♂️
