For most people in the US a car is a daily necessity so it’s very difficult to avoid that telemetry gathering.

I have multiple cars and none of them are new enough to have that.
They'll have to track me the old-fashioned way, by my phone.
If they were made after 2016, they definitely are tracking you.
We aren't at the point where it's unavoidable though. Even if we assume that its impossible to dodge random onstar/sirius bloatware crap that probably tracks you, you can definitely still buy a car that doesn't have a 5g wireless modem, 360-degree webcam coverage, mandatory automatic software updates, and ass-warming seats locked behind DRM that forces you to have an online account linked to your credit card.
There is no new vehicle produced today that doesn’t track you. Not a single one.
Lot of new motorcycles don't. Although sadly many new ones now have bluetooth and smart phone connectivity which even if not used can be used as an identifier.
