That’s all fine, but I’m still not gonna drive one. Nothing connected to the internet will make it to my driveway.

Aren’t those two separate issues?

Sadly, they’re not. Every single EV is a privacy nightmare.
I’d love a dumb EV, but there is none.

Retrofitting classic cars is a thing. Have you looked into that? I agree it seems you are letting a different problem lock you into inaction.

It’s very expensive and you get a car no one can service.

Well yeah getting things tailor made to meet your needs is expensive. It sounds like your going to have a really bad time paying extra for dirty gas options going forward. I hope you can keep finding someone to service your car until you can’t drive anymore.
