If I could get an electric car with zero external connectivity, and the internals of an early 2010 vehicle. I'd be interested.
Check about retrofit kits, if you have 20k to put in your car
Yeah and I think there would be a lot of people who would pay a premium to aftermarket privacy-ify their electric cars.
Yes, and all 10000 of those people worldwide will enjoy the absolute lack of range on a vehicle never designed to accommodate enough batteries. Or if you do fit enough batteries to make it useful, you ruin all other characteristics of the car by increasing weight too much.
You want to keep an old car going in a useful manner, it's not going to be an EV conversion, you'll be getting your hands dirty. But at the cost of having a really outdated interior, you'll get better ride quality out of an 80s Mercedes than you will out of a 2020 literally anything. And those OM604/5/6 diesels will last forever too. And I mean FOREVER.
Otherwise you'll have to find a manufacturer to build you a proper new EV without tracking. It's gonna be hell, but maybe someone will pop up eventually. Will be a fun time explaining it to the customers: "Noooo, you can't turn on heating from the app when it's -30 outside, but that's a good thing!" (though obviously a remote would fix that)
