    I’ll never understand people who read “spyware on wheels” and immediately assume i’m criticizing (only) China. Then again, nuance is a loan word in english.

      I’ll bite.

      How often do you comment that on non Chinese cars?

        I comment that on any post 2000 car, the more tech it has the more spyware it is, regardless of engine type or brand.
        And it doesn’t really matter making country distinctions as we’re talking about transnational megacorps anyway. Most brands belong to a handful of groups.

          Totally on that page with you.

          But there’s a lot of people who will come say that, but only comment on China related calls, which reaks of “all lives matter” level of disingenuous.
