Agreed. There's a lot to like about the cars, but they're very invasive.

Luckily you can get a service manual in Massachusetts (or at least electronic access)

If I were to buy one my first move would be to remove the modem and WiFi.

Even then I don't like the amount of data it records internally.

I don't think you understand the car if you want to turn off the ability for the car to improve the software.

Fair enough - I think understand their model, but I don't really agree with it :)

I don't think my car needs internet access, or anyone needs the ability to check in on it.

Unless there's a safety recall, I'd personally prefer my car to keep the OS and configuration throughout it's lifecycle.

But I love their batteries in particular, and I think they're very nice cars in many ways.
