US privacy laws are WAY behind the EU. See all the Apple, Google, et all millions in fines for details.

Yeah personal security is so useless. What's your address again? I assume you leave your doors and windows unlocked since you don't believe in personal security. While you're at it, feel free to post all your accounts with passwords which are also just a placebo. SMH That hot take aside...

Just looking for a confirmation that disabling remote data in the privacy settings actually works and Rivian cannot get to your location data.

Like I said, consumers shouldn't have to choose keeping their location data private or buying an EV. And without rehashing the whole previous thread where this was discussed, Rivian's privacy policy has been revised on more than one occasion since we pre-ordered, but that was not the topic of...

Reminds me of a few quotes... "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." - Tolstoy "All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." - Schopenhauer "The further a society...

Thank you! Very helpful!

There are plenty of other more recent vehicles that don't report your location in real time. I own 3 other ones. Again, you shouldn't have to give up your private data when buying ANY product. Counting down until I trade in my R1S for my Scout Terra; hopefully, it will be much easier to...

Well, hoping that the pendulum starts to swing back in the consumer-protection direction as manufacturers like Scout and Slate hopefully succeed w/ their retro and DIY designs. Time will tell. Looking at previous threads, it doesnt' look like at least the antenna was meant to be disconnected...

Well, if it requires a glue gun and knife to disconnect an antenna, then no thanks anyway. As far as funcitoning, why wouldn't it function? Sure. OTA updates would be disabled but TBH Gen 1 OTA updates have been tapering off all year and it's the only vehicle that I've ever owned that even...

Of course but the point is what they do w/ your data. See my recent reply regarding Purism's AweSIM service.

Again, not without a warrant but to counter the carrier profiteering off of your cellular data, there is at least Purism's AweSIM.

The closest that I've been to Cuba was Key West, FL (90 miles) but directed energy weapons (DEW) are a real thing and go as far back as the mid-60s.

Apparently, you missed my earlier reply regarding privacy-focused alternative phones. Scroll up.

Apparently, you didn't read all of my replies. Surveillance capitalism isn't about *watching* important people. It's about pwning EVERYONE's private data for profit at best and for control and influence at its worst. See China's social credit system for details. And, deleting all your social...

Do you mean the TCM?

Once again, there are no *perfect* solutions, but suffice to say Purism has taken more steps than ANY OTHER manufacturer (foreign or domestic) to deliver privacy-focused mobile devices per its social purpose corporation mission enshrined in its articles of corporation which is the antithesis of...

Obviously, a tow company can put any vehicle on a flatbed and take it w/ or w/o ever unlocking it. That has nothing to do w/ monitoring your location in real-time or historically w/o a warrant which has to do w/ protecting your privacy rights.

Well, according to grok...

Well, I'll probably follow up with the SC to see if they would even disble the TCM or disconnect the cellular antenna, but if not I may ask for a written confirmation that Rivian cannot remotely access my R1S with the remote settings disabled. That said, after researching some other threads...

Yes. I was reading about that as a worst case scenario. A hardware solution is always the safest solution but if I can confirm these settings are legitimate and completely in the owner's control, that would be very convenient and a kudos to Rivian, since OTA updates could be easily enabled...
