As much as I should really care about this, I have to say... I don't. I should, but I don't.

To me it's a little bit like, "I love these new cellphones but I'm keeping it in airplane mode all the time because I don't want it online"

I mean what's the point of buying a new car if you're going to cripple features that are so much better because it's connected? Sure, use CarPlay or such, but to say forever end things like over the air software updates? Anything to prevent Kia from theoretically detecting sexual activity I suppose [1].

Just buy an old car. Or convert a classic into an EV [2].

There are A LOT of things in our lives that can be completely torn apart if one wants to. Glass is a vastly inferior window covering. Do you know how easy it breaks, and people can just look into it.

1 If you ask me, there's a whole whitepaper to be written about how to detect sexual activity in a Kia.
