Hyundai is supposedly gathering information about their customers and giving it to the cops.
Oh and they’re giving out 30 year old anti theft devices because their cars from a certain period don’t have

Did you mean immobilizers? Otherwise I have no idea what you are talking about.
Nah, imonilizers, a new device used to monetize driving patterns.
Yep. The one time autocorrect didn’t try to help.
Dude it was crazy it’s like a 10 year period I think
This sounds great, but the cynic in me can’t help buy wonder if this is counter-programming for Mozilla’s privacy study that came out a couple weeks ago: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/
Im not sure what your point is here. Don’t get an EV because they (and all other new cars) have privacy issues?
No he meant they are just trying to safe their face.
I get that. But the implication is executives from hyundai all met because of that information from mozilla to determine how they can counter the privacy concerns. Then they came up with “give them an EV charger, that’ll make them forget!”. Then no one mentions that the solution may only be seen by 5% of people buying a small segment of cars?
Its a stretch. I’m pretty sure they are just trying to reduce friction of people buying EVs and this has nothing to do with the information about privacy.
Now if they had some major incentives across all types of data stealing cars, that might be connected.
You are probably right. However I wonder how much data they will collect using EVs. Since newer systems usually mean more data.
Oh look more spam from The Verge
Hyundai also got busted for using child labor in the states and was heavily penalized for it, so trying to rebuild their image? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-hyundai-subsidiary-has-used-child-labor-alabama-factory-2022-07-22/
Ahem that’s a normal day in America
The Times found that automotive suppliers and a food contractor in the Grand Rapids area are illegally employing migrant children in jobs that can include dangerous conditions and long hours, producing goods used by Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co., and General Mills Inc

I was quoted 1200 for just the install, my electrical box is at one of my house and it had to go through a room into my garage corner (about 20 feet). Was shocked, but apparently the cabling is really expensive. Luckily had someone that did it for a living and installed for free. So much better then using the normal wall outlet though
240v dedicated taps don’t come cheap. Having two 240v taps installed this morning, will cost about $1300. That’s without a proprietary charger. I decided to just use standard 240v chargers for our Mach-E. It’s slower than the proprietary Ford charger, but not by much.
The same electric systems that just got recalled?
Are they going to randomly start on fire, like their cars?
