      Im not sure what your point is here. Don’t get an EV because they (and all other new cars) have privacy issues?

          I get that. But the implication is executives from hyundai all met because of that information from mozilla to determine how they can counter the privacy concerns. Then they came up with “give them an EV charger, that’ll make them forget!”. Then no one mentions that the solution may only be seen by 5% of people buying a small segment of cars?

          Its a stretch. I’m pretty sure they are just trying to reduce friction of people buying EVs and this has nothing to do with the information about privacy.

          Now if they had some major incentives across all types of data stealing cars, that might be connected.

            You are probably right. However I wonder how much data they will collect using EVs. Since newer systems usually mean more data.

      It kinda sucks there’s no car manufacturers that’ll make new cars without these privacy issues. I suppose the best thing that could be done would be to attempt to disconnect a car from being able to contact any network so no data can get out.
