less worried about hacking or targeting, and more just interested in the privacy aspect. It's the least controlled 'IOT' device in my home, and happens to have GPS and continued connectivity to services I don't fully know.
You might be right that the Volvo/Polestar traffic routes differently than the application traffic. A quick test just connecting only wifi showed a bunch of connections to AWS and Hetzner, but the IP the car displayed in the Wifi panel and the IP that the car actually received from my network were different; I suspect there's some internal NAT networking happening between the TCAM and AAOS itself. The IP for the car seemed to belong to some "T-Systems Germany" company too, never heard of it.
Just preliminary exploration anyway. I don't expect we'll ever get full control/disconnect ability, but I'm definitely interested in how much more control we as owners can get back, and Orbit seems an essential tool to help that.
