I just bought an ev. The touch screen is being tracked like a web page. They know how often you use the normal basic features.
I wish they were upfront about the data selling. Factor that into the price.
commercial opens "This is our data collection Car. We made it $10k to buy, but $120 a year to use the accelerator and so many more subscriptions we have to give the car away. We make the cars for $4000 anyway. Why do we have so many extra part laying around. Looks back at camera so if you want an affordable car, buy ours, we make money off of you while you drive. Or don't. That's still a data point that someone wants to buy."
