Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?

  Public transit/bikes are (or should be) a good alternative if you can’t find normal, used, dumb cars anymore

    That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”

      Both of my statements are correct. Cars shouldn’t have internet and there should be less cars. In absence of offline cars, use bikes and public transportation

  • Traffic

  • Phone (CarPlay/Android Auto (yes I know Tesla doesn’t have them, garbage decision you’ll have to live with if you bought one)

  • Remote (app) features

  • Don’t care/want/need, plus security risk. If you really can’t do without, use WiFi when at home, and no-idea-what for when on the go.

  • Music

  • See point 1, also “dumb” media devices via Bluetooth/USB should be possible.

    Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

      Just cause you opt out of those features doesn’t mean the car doesn’t have other mandatory shit that connects to the internet to, say, sell data like the exact times and locations of when you have sex
