Why would you worry about the battery when it has a 8-10y warranty on it on average? The only reason to replace it is if it has a manufacturing problem and that's why there's a warranty. Don't void the warranty and you'll be fine.
You don't have to change the high voltage battery on EV nowadays.

I might be wrong but the fact that they enable the option by default to everyone (but EU it seems) allow themselves to collect all the posts you already made right away.
Turning it off will only prevent them from using your future posts.
So they already have trained their AI with your data. They certainly won't "untrain" it after you switch the option off. You can't unring that bell...
All companies are using this scumbag approach to get your data: auto opt-in everyone, get all existing data then give the illusion that you can opt-out with a useless option.
I hate this
I guess Revanced would eventually have a patch to skip this check. It can already spoof the client and such, why not this as well. I hope so
Funny that you call them "Nukes". You really don't like the nuclear power plants if you call them the same as nuclear weapons.
You know what feels wrong? You can easily buy GPS tracking devices on Amazon, but it is illegal to use a GPS jammer in USA, Canada and many other countries.
So companies spying you is fine, but blocking a GPS signal to prevent them from spying can get you a $16,000 fine.
Edit: my thought experiment is not about truck drivers being monitored but more about those fancy new EVs that sell your GPS based data to data brokers... You usually can't turn off the GPS in those EVs.
Very true. Although out of warranty doesn't mean the battery needs replacement. There are many Teslas out there (because there are not many other EV that old yet) that have 700 000 km and more, some even closing in to the million km, and on average their battery SoH is still over 70%.
Again as the article says, the car will need replacement for pretty much everything else (suspension, steering, etc) before the HV battery.
Again, the battery is not something to be concerned about, even long term.
