Modern cars are spy hubs on wheels, tracking your location, conversations, and behavior.

      I looked at it at one point (quite a while back) and yes, it was more than a new car usually. It alone was about the price of a new car, like $30k IIRC (again, many years ago I think pre-covid even). You also need to include the car, so add a few thousand, or more depending on the car.

          Yeah, it’s definitely something to look into. It’s not a bad deal at least. It just costs a lot because it’s mostly unique work for a single vehicle, rather than a factory pumping out the same one over and over.

            That’s fair yeah… But I wouldn’t mind an EV, only an EV with all the data connection and all that bs, so this could be a good deal for me in the future
