I've already resolved to not buy cars newer than the ones I already have (from the '90s and 2000s).

(It sucks 'cause it means I can't have an EV unless I find one of those super-low-volume '90s fleet compliance cars or build my own.)

Consider an ebike to supplement your car for shorter trips. I've just opted to ride my bikes more.

My ebike odometer ticked over 1000 miles a couple weeks ago.

I am not beginning to drive any time soon so not much knowledge on cars, but seen from videos and discussions that at least in some models telematics are done by a box that can be unplugged, and it depends what functionality you can lose from this. Buying only old is probably not a longterm option, so would instead be looking at disarming upcoming ones. We really need a database on how eadily it is done by model and what impact it would have.

You can always install an EV conversion kit to old cars.

I count that under "build my own."
