I was very interested in this car and tested it for about a week, the first thing I did was put a piece of black tape over the sensor. It does not complain, it doesn't notice.
If the systems are enabled, it warns you that it doesn't work, which is every time you start the car until you press the button.
I have no idea what kind of data this car gathers but out of all the cars I've shopped for lately this one was definitely the least intrusive of them all. The fact that this car in particular shows up here is kinda wild to me.
I didn't end up getting it because the trim levels are weird.
Hear hear. I refuse to use it for this exact reason. The rainbow flag is such a strong symbol!
