If they want market differentiation, make an electric car that's not spyware on wheels. Quality basic functionality while letting the user turn off all the telemetry and extra bells and whistles they don't want.

Tell that to Slate Auto. They’re launching a bare-bones pickup for under $25000. Pretty much everything right down to the car radio is an optional accessory. And they have stated that they will happily provide the templates for things like the radio & speaker mounts so individuals and third parties could 3D print their own mounting adapters if they want to customize their truck after they buy it.
