Another car maker banned from my life forever

Here's an article from last year. It's Australian, but I think it likely that car brands have the same or similar privacy policies wherever you go.
In short: Tesla and Korean brands are the worst. Japanese brands apart from Mazda are the best for privacy.

Didn't they get caught up in the hulk Hogan dick pic scandal?
-
They are/were a Gawker brand, so they've always been garbage.

Included warranties are typically very short and extended warranties are worthless.
-
Only if they find out.

At this pace, I'll either never change my car or will never buy a car again.
Based. Train, busses and bikes are superior.

Hold onto it, farthings are already gone, so once they get rid of pennies you'll have to "upgrade" to a Dime Nickel

Easy solution: plausible deniability. Play dumb.
"I dunno, man. I just turn the car on and off. I don't know anything about car computers or whatever."
Them: "Did you take it anywhere to get it serviced?"
"Just to get my tires inflated."

Them: Hey Sal! We got another liar that says he didn't go through the 20 steps to disconnect the telemetry and thinks we're gonna believe that some tire inflater just did him a solid without telling him..

My 2016 doesnt have a modem. It has a Sirus radio...but sirus operates one way and has no way to communicate back.

The fascists are already dismantling the CFPB. I'm sure the FTC will be on the chopping block soon, too.
So who's going to stop them when they flagrantly ignore the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and refuse to honor your warranty for having your car serviced somewhere other than a dealer?
-
And who's going to stop them from claiming you did either way?
The warranties are trash anyway. I'm not for the warranties in the first place, just pointing out that you could claim plausible deniability if you needed to while still ensuring they don't get to surreptitiously send your driving data to your insurance company.
