#112Would be great to read about it but my residential internet has apparently been blocked for "malicious activity".
From the pictures, this is the kind of vehicle that you would gladly pay extra to have delivered to your second vacation home so you can park it next to your 6 other semi-exotic cars and drive it half a mile to the country club on Saturdays. If that is not your demographic, they might have geo-located your IP and blocked you based on the median income of your area. (Only half joking.)
Oh, c’mon, it’s 44K. One can easily spend 30K or more on a motorcycle these days, we are a long way from “country club” prices. If it came to the U. S., I’d probably pick one up to park next to our Hyundai (yeah, a Hyundai, not a Range Rover).

#113I like the idea, and we need variety in the market to keep things evolving, but I like the bells and whistles. I just don't want it to phone home. Honestly, I want the title to be 'we don't have a network connection and we can still be a car'. Privacy is my #1 feature.
Privacy, and I don't need my car to be a driving collection of CVEs 10-20 years from now, because of some built-in modem that's ancient by then.

I have a BYD Seal and this was as simple as removing the SIM (it's in the armrest compartment and just pops out).
I mean, even back in the OnStar days, you could "opt out" and cancel the service and it would track you anyway. With BYD or any other car maker, I'd be worried the SIM was a placebo.

ECUs talked to each other over a digital bus long before anyone added a connection to the internet.
The first 20yr of automotive computers they weren't really talking to each other and when they were it wasn't really bidirectional and it wasn't typically on a bus unless you wanna call a dedicated wire a bus.
I was working on diagnostics for cars using CAN in 1995.

#116Can I get a non-digital gas car, too?

> You can negotiate charging with essentially a single resistor. For USB sure.... I'm pretty sure this doesn't charge over USB.
I'm surprised, and you'll be surprised, but this is true!! I gotta start actually looking shit up before saying something.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772#Signaling
J1772 is significantly more than a single resistor. And, while the signaling is analog, all practical implementations are going to use digital circuitry to generate and detect it.

What would the car maker gain from adding a decoy sim?
analytics. same thing anyone that collects data gets. how they use it might be different. most use it to monetize the data. some might actually use it to improve things. because some do use for making money, those that do for actual improving will always be deemed suspect
You are seriously positing that car manufacturers would install decoy sims in their vehicles to discourage people from finding the true sim, all so they might collect data without potential user disruption?

> I'm amused to see that so many cybertrucks have been powder coated or wrapped in vinyl. There are car enthusiasts and Cubertruck owners. There is little overlap between these two sets.
I don’t understand. Vinyl wrapping cars is a normal thing for car people. What’s the difference?
One of the key design points of the Cyvertruck was that brutalist "slab of shiny steel" look.
Apparently owners often want a bit more manicured looks.

#120I was hoping for a lower price, but it does appear that these are not mass produced like most car manufacturers and they do have some nice designs on them, which I'm sure adds to the cost.
