The spyware you are mentioning is in gas cars too. It isn’t exclusive to EVs it is a problem with all new cars.

If you buy a PHEV be prepared for the cost of a gas car and an EV combined

I’ve found the range is better than what they claim for stop and go city driving due to regen braking. But otherwise the range estimate is about as accurate as the miles per gallon estimate on a gas car.

It is definitely way cheaper to own than a gas car.
