On the other hand, my 21 year old vehicle has none of it, and my GrapheneOS phone isn't tracking me either. We didn't all just give up like you did.
Maybe I should've paid >10.000 in spares plus labour for a car I originally spend 21.000 for 8 years ago to buy diesel for for about 2€ per liter rather than switching to an ev for the privilege of ne being tracked rather than "giving up".
I spoke with my landlord about removing power to the home security cameras, because they were Ring. He obliged my request, but I later discovered that he (in private) regards my preference as that of a rebellious teenager in need of a cause. I had to let that sink in… I’m a rebel without a cause because I don’t sip from the same koolaid as he does. Wow.
Does your GrapheneOS phone have a SIM? Because if so, the cell towers are collecting and storing your location.
I assume your old vehicle also doesn't have any type pressure sensors?
You can bask in the glory of knowing that you're better than anyone else. I myself aren't paranoid enough to really care.
