I was considering buying a Chevy Bolt lately to use as my daily commuter but found out it collects a lot of data and phones it back. It’s hard to do research on what kind of EV I could buy that doesn’t collect your location data so I’m hoping someone here might have some good suggestions.
I wonder if anyone has tried “jailbreaking” their EV’s and running custom OS’s on it to get rid of the spyware.
Would most likely void the warranty, but still.
I’m holding out for Carbuntu or Carch to be a thing. Or maybe Carian.
“I use Carch btw.” Yeah, that’ll work.
And likely void the insurance policy too.
Probably not. You can modify cars pretty extensively and insurance doesn’t care. As long as it’s road legal, which is a very low bar in most states. There have been ECU mods forever and those are still covered.
Locking your keys in a car and calling Pop-a-Lock voids everything afaik, so probably. But still is an interesting spot, possibly sweet.
