Yeah, honestly, all modern cars are full of spyware already, and if something it to spy on me I’d prefer if it was reporting to someone on the other side of the globe vs. some company or government in my jurisdiction. The former may show you more annoying ads, the latter may literally put you in prison. (of course, it is possible that the former will sell your data to the latter, so it’s better to avoid spyware altogether)
I don’t give two shits if my BYD (or other of the Chinese evs that outclass tesla for less money) reports directly to Chairman Xi’s laptop.
I also want the commemorative Release The Epstein Files Edition, in Atlantis Gray.

I have excellent news for you about contemporary government spying. Spying on OUR citizens is bad, so we ask the foreign allies for that data.
I don’t think China would willingly hand over precious data to the US/Canada governments. But it might be willing to sell it.
So our tax dollars are paying for our stolen data? Quite the win-win.
