I just did a search on the bolt and apparently users are having to modify their antennae to stop onstar telemetry. Kia also collects telemetry. Equinox also with the onstar issue. Ford also collects telemetry.
Once again, are there any that work functionally like my airgapped ICE car? It is only 8 years old. I’m worried there aren’t.
OnStar telemetry has been a thing since well before your 8 year old car.
As I said, nothing to do with being an EV. All new cars have some variety of telemetry. You may choose not to buy a newer car, but it has nothing to do with whether it is an EV or not.
But be careful because an 8 year old ICEV from GM has OnStar
The boring ones. Things like Bolt, Niro, Equinox, Lightning, etc. Not every EV is like Tesla.

Price / fanciness has nothing to do with the amount of telemetry (if anything, there is a weak negative correlation).
BMW was one of the best for privacy the last time I checked.
