It also has the added benefit of watching you all the time!
Other than that EVs are pretty dope.
Not exclusive to EVs though
You can barely get an EV old enough not to do it, if at all. You can easily get an ICE old though though
But yes, it's all new cars.
Sure, but that's still a stupid complaint though. No vehicle has to spy on you, people only allow cars to spy on them. The thing is, you're an adult, you know how duct tape and screwdrivers work. If there's some offending camera, just pull it out or cover it up. If you're worried about it phoning home over a wireless connection, remove the wireless antenna. No car will prevent you from driving because an internal camera was disabled.
The electric motor is watching you?
For now at least, in many cars it's possible to remove the cellular modem component and bypass it while retaining nearly all functionality, though I've only ever tried it in regular gas cars.
The EVs may have more online requirements.
