I own a BYD
It's a great car, without the bullshit
I can't fault the build quality, and Tesla rely on BYD tech to actually make them go anyway, so why bother with a Swasticar?
BYDs contain plenty of bullshit and are a complete privacy nightmare.
Every modern car is a privacy nightmare selling driving data to insurance companies.
Or there's felon's nightmare...choose your ev poison. or stick with ICE.
You know there are other EVs than Chinese and Tesla’s right? They’re all privacy nightmares though, but at least your data goes somewhere a little more you-friendly.
For a Western person data going into the US is far worse than to China.
What about Korean EVs?
Tesla are collecting from the cameras, microphones, location, etc.
I don't need an app for my car (dunno if Tesla requires one, I have never even considered one because of the build quality issues and the fact that Elmo is a fucking nazi)
You don't need an app to use a Tesla, but you're missing out on a lot by not using it if you own one.
Probably the same for many OEMs.
