Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular connectivity and some satellite communications technologies are covered under the rules based on national security concerns linked to the ability of vehicles to collect sensitive data on American owners.
So... Could they please just release a version without any of this connectivity, and then I could buy a cheap EV that isn't a privacy nightmare. Sounds like a win-win to me.
But I mean specifically here they could remove connectivity as a way around the ban by removing the rationale for it. I'm sure the government would find another reason to ban them, but still

They love the data collection; they just want it all for themselves.

Oh no for sure every government does.

Who's actually under pressure here? China? Or the people in USA spending their whole paycheck on a fucking car?
