I'll never buy a vehicle that requires cloud connectivity for anything. Not a problem!
Well, most cars don't REQUIRE it, but most cars lose features if it doesn't have network connectivity.
Good luck finding a car made after 2020 that doesn't have at least one or two features that require the Internet to function.
I've never seen a car like this. Mine was made in 2021 though so I must have caught the last ~~ship~~ car out lol. What kind of things do cars even use the internet for? I'm struggling to imagine it
What car is it?
I don't want to dox myself, sorry
What? 🤣
If you know someone's rough location, you can narrow it down a lot more if you know their car details. Especially if you get right down to exact make model year and colour. How many of your neighbours drive the exact same car as you?
Dude was just asking type of car, like "Toyota Corolla", "Porsche Taycan" or whatever, not the VIN number.
I'm not obligated to answer
That is a fact, and I can respect that. I was just pointing out the reaction to a non-invasive question as if it was actually invasive.
