I wanted to get others’ takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies’ security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren’t safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

    Take a look at motorcycles. They tend to be far behind the curve technology wise, and only Zerocycles have a telemetry system afaik.

        If you mean emissions wise, that’s really going to depend on the bike. Old two-strokes rocking carbs? Yeah, they’re terrible. Modern fuel injected four strokes with cats? Pretty good, actually. And they get better mileage than most hybrids. I get 60mpg on my 900cc Triumph, which is a mid-sized bike by American standards and a big bike by world standards. Smaller bikes and scooters can get over 100mpg.
