As a matter of fact, ICE cars were connected to the internet way before the first EV was connected to the internet.
Comment on Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says
Vakbrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 hours agoAs opposed to what your comment implies, the drivetrain (EV or ICE) has nothing to do with cars spying on you. You should not blame the technology itself because shady car companies spying on your internet connected car. Most of them are well known ICE car brands that does the spying (GM, Volkswagen for instance)
Yes, most new ICE cars are Internet connected now, not just EVs.
Blame those greedy compagnies, not the technology.

exactly, that is an issue with new cars in general. It’s not a reason to buy a new ICE car instead of a new EV.

It is a reason to not buy a new car which means people who aren’t buying new cars won’t be buying EV’s.

They won't be buying new cars in the near future, but their cars will be wearing out and spare parts for old cars always become hard to find. Either they will be spending a large part of their time maintaining the car, including making parts from scratch, or they will forced to buy a new car anyway.
