Thats the easy route, but i had hoped it would be possible to do something with newer cars. Looks like old ones might fall out of favor of laws in the future.
Usually, the efficient goal oriented are dumb enough like ebikes. I am guessing investing in Aptera would be a great option for a to b daily driving. Aside from that, custom computer to control the car is the most logical step until you get into electric or hybrid type vehicles where the aftermarket is not big enough. Removing wireless connectivity fuses are another option but I don’t know if a service shop will connect the fuses defeating your privacy. Also a phone app will always be anti privacy. Make sure to get products without apps or wireless connection capabilities as manufacturers start preventing you from using products without registering it with an app first.
What would you need to do to make a car dumb? Remove all connectivity chips? ECU swap? Flashing custom software?
Buy a simple car

I’d think just unhooking the antenna would do it, it might stop working eventually though
Feel like it could be as simple as removing a fuse (or fuses) in some cases.
My LEAF has a 3G radio. It’s useless now. If it were still connected, I could yank it; you can have any shop do the same.
