Most, if not all car companies collect and profile your data, how can I improve my privacy when buying a modern car? (www.mozillafoundation.org)

I think car privacy isn't talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

I'm curious about it too, especially knowing whether there are any car brands that are more privacy friendly than others.

Not really.

They all now have computers with data connections to report car metrics.
