Most of the EVs being announced have 24/7 internet connectivity, which in itself is fine. However most manufacturers are depending on Google, Amazon etc. to provide infotainment systems (and I’m assuming smart car related features). Generally always connected and tech giant integration doesn’t go well for privacy. So are there any manufacturer not dependent on tech giant at all ? Or is tech giant integrations are fine since data is never (and never will be) relayed to cloud?

They appear to be completely behind supporting right to repair and providing schematics so you can do your own repairs as well. Additionally, efficiency appears to be their primary goal, which I would really like as a “daily commuter”.
They don’t have a car in the market yet, but when they do, I’m buying for sure. You should look into them https://aptera.us/

interesting, they still don’t have much info on infotainment/brain of car but right to repair is promising and generally means better approach. I’ll follow their progress.
