EV that does not track my every move (www.mozillafoundation.org)

I am sure this article has been shared before, however I wanted to have a look at this topic.
The articles short summary is this:

All 25 car brands we researched earned our *Privacy Not Included warning label – making cars the worst category of products that we have ever reviewed

I am currently driving a 2014 Ford Fiesta which just has a radio with a CD player and Bluetooth. I do not need more than that in a car.

The reason I am looking at all is that that the Fiesta does not belong to me and the friend owning it will be moving out in a bit, so I kinda need another one.

There seems to be one brand that is not as bad as the other ones (but still bad): Renault; mozilla's review...
Maybe I will have a look at their cars.

What do you guys think? Stick to older used cars and not use an EV or look at which of the manufacturers have the least bad privacy policy?

I suppose you'll have to settle for an e-bike, and even those are increasingly electronic. Maybe retrofitting a standard bike with an electric engine.

I have one, but it is hard to transpost a lot of things on them. But maybe I should look into a trailer for it :D

How is the old Zoe there? It even asks for consent for maps data.

Your phone is tracking your every move.

Your cell provider is tracking many of your moves by seeing what cell towers you are talking to.

Your phone is only tracking your every move if appropriate spyware is installed.
