I wanted to get others' takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies' security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren't safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

That's impractical. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi also needs modems so just remove those too.

I mean sure if you can find and remove them. They're very small.

They're going to be in the same location for a given model year, which somebody will likely have documented online.
