Comment on Mozilla review of 25 car brands finds they're "a privacy nightmare"

• Aux@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Tesla is pretty much an Apple car with a locked down ecosystem and ridiculous warranty terms, which prevent regular evacuation. And even though Musk is a complete nutjob, Tesla is still holding 65.4% share of EV market.

  Regular people just LOVE buying shit. So yeah, I’m not surprised that this privacy nightmare exists. When your main competitor sells hundreds of thousands of vehicles each year and completely dominates the market with draconian terms and conditions, utter privacy violations and ridiculous warranty terms, you kind of have to start doing the same shit or your company might end up bankrupt.

  I understand that many people on Lemmy are unable to see the truth standing in front of them, but the reality is that no one gives a shit about privacy. If that wasn’t the case, there would be no Facebook, no Apple and Google and no Tesla. But they DO exist, they DO dominate the market and everyone who chooses a different business path goes down sooner or later.

    disposable income is called as such for a reason.and these companies are just an extension for people’s whims since people have voted for them with their data and wallet. so the system is running as intended and there is no need to be worried
