I just bought a 2023 Chevy Bolt. The federal tax incentive, lifetime maintenance costs, state sales tax exemption incentive, a credit toward installing a home charger, and charging costs (WA resident) made it a solid long term investment.
That said, they really tried to shove OnStar, SiriusXM, and their shitty app down my throat. I use Android Auto for everything at this point and am now wondering how much of my data is being shipped off to Chevy...
Pretty sure you can disable OnStar. Sirius should be receive only but I'm not certain.
Depending on the apps you have on your phone you may already be leaking lots of info.
I go through an app refresh every so often and remove those that I haven't touched in months. Even that only gets me so far, I'm sure.
