FragarachWell, that sort of behaviour won't encourage a faster shift toEVs.
mike805@Fragarach @Miro_Collas @Su_G Can I have a car with no app please?
I researched cars in 2025 and gave up because they all had Internet connections that I had no control over.
Where can I get a non-connected new car?
Not sure if you can. Whether they're battery powered, hybrid or ICE powered, they all have some form of connectivity. Even tyres have RFID chips these days.
Interestingly, there's quite a market for older commercial vehicles, vans and the like. The older motors are easier to work on than newer, modular types.
