Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars | The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price. (www.theatlantic.com)

In Australia the Cupra e cars aren't connected but it's the single biggest complaint so I am sure new versions will "fix" that. Maybe the US has the non connected models?

I have a BYD and don't care if China surveils me, and i am ok to trade that off to do things like charge remotely, cool or heat the car remotely before I get in etc What I do care about is my country surveiling me, their only intention for doing that is to do me harm if I don't confrom.

on another note i always find it bemusing Americans claiming to be wary of surveillance, this the country of the NSA, Edward Snowden, Meta, Apple, Google, doorbell cams, internet cams, Amazon Echo, smart homes and on and on.
