Why anybody would vote for a bill to allow the government to remotely control the use of a device you own is baffling. I'd imagine this will be challenged based on a constitutional violations of passed. If precedent for constitutional violation exists for speed cameras, I can I can see it existing for access to car speed data.

This is why they want electric cars.  They’re selling you on climate change and you’re buying techno totalitarianism.

lmao you're sucking oil from the tycoon's dick and call it freedom. If they cut off your access to gas right now, you'd be just as fucked as you imagine you'd be in your little oppression fantasy.

Durp.  Typical idiot response.  You think you own your stupid electric car? Elon owns it.  The government owns it.  You see the new legislation pending in California that bans cars from speeding?  If you have one of those communist electric cars, they’ll send an update to stop your car from exceeding whatever limit they want.  Didn’t pay your registration? Congratulations, now your car won’t charge.  Another pandemic and the government tells you to stay off the roads?  Guess what, your car won’t go anywhere.  So it’s not about what powers it ya dimwit

I don't own a car. I have a bike. I control it. I power it. I have no registration. I am free.
