The data found about 68 per cent of car shoppers in 2022 who did not own an EV showed an intent to purchase one, but that dropped to 56 per cent this year.

    basically no one in the real world cares about that

    I’m going to assume that ignorance is your idea of “not caring”. I think people would care if they knew the truth.

    Put it this way, if you offered informed people an EV that spies on them or an EV that doesn’t, would anyone pick the one that spies on them?

      With the price difference it would make? I’m sure most people would go for the cheaper, spying option.

        As long as they are informed, they’re more than welcome to choose that option. As it stands, there are no options for privacy-respecting EVs.

          It will doesn’t mean it’s one of the main reasons why sales are down, which is what you implied at first. Proof of that? Gas cars have the same kind of tech, people still buy them.
