The gov of China may or may not be wholesome and friendly but I’m sure I saw an article earlier this year on abc about data collection that Toyota was enjoying.
I don’t think it’s nesisarily China but any company with tech is doing their utmost to rape and pillage our data, what do they say about Google… you are the product…
I’d like to believe that Apple is better but to be honest…
Toby Hagon made the point that all modern cars have the potential to gather data. The problem is that all Chinese companies have to comply with the CCP's requirements and make any data they collect available to the CCP.

Call me a cynic but lets face it, these things are all not about your data. If you dont want anyone to have your data, you have to go off grid.
I'm not worried about my data. I am one of 7 billion people in the world. No more important than anyone else. What do i need to be worried about?
Whatever might happen to me will happen to many more people. There is either something we can all worry about then, or its something that we will be powerless to stop.
Either way, worrying about it now ain't going to matter a damn, so i'll continue living my life.

I’m not worried about my data either but Chinese expats, industrialists, military personnel and politicians may have a different view. And then there’s dash cam footage that may have intelligence potential.
99.9% of the information gathered may be useless but AI will ensure that anything useful will be identified.

The problem is everything is geotagged, so it's much easier to filter than people think, there is no need to plough through the whole lot. AI can identify locations, voices, sounds, signals, etc., etc., it's what it is the one thing it is really good at already.

I see Chinese brand Xiaomi is being accused by Porsche of copying it's Taycan design, who would have thunk it?

Although, I have to wonder how many of the Taycan parts come out of China, Taiwan, Korea, etc., etc., in the first place, only to get a premium added to for having the Porsche name.
Rolex anyone?

JD Power annual survey on the reliability of Motor vehicles in the USA hasnt done much for EV sales with Tesla and Volvo's offshoot EV brand in Polestar being very problem ridden and leading the way in problems per 100 vehicles in the graph that appears further down the report..
https://www.jdpower.com/business/press-r...-study-iqs
Only real surprise is Mazda performing badly and a usually unreliable entity in RAM proving to be the least buggy in terms of problems with vehicles. Hitlers choice of Transport in Volkswagen and its brother company Audi were very poor which is no real surprise to me and Lexus remains one of the most consistently good brands if you can afford to own one.
Overall I cant see these figures deterring Americans to stick with Gas Guzzling large utes/SUVs and it wont be making me rush out and buy an EV in any hurry.

The new power pricing plans may hit EV owners. I understand that there will be a higher tariff when a lot of electricity is used, such as when you’re charging your EV,

I understand that there will be a higher tariff when a lot of electricity is used, such as when you’re charging your EV, The methodology might be to force EV owners to also invest in Solar Power systems so they are not drawing everything from the grid in peak times and create issues. We have generous rebates/subsidies in Australia plus plenty of sun obviously and one in three homes have solar but I reckon the Government would like to see 2 in 3 homes with solar and more battery systems.
Of course market operators would be inclined to charge more knowing that EV owners need a fix of power to run their cars and its a way to make more money especially in the evening when I presume the majority of cars would be charging..
