If you manage to find an electric model that allows you to pull the modem, that represents ultimate freedom. Think about it: Right now you are dependent on gas stations which can collect info on your transactions via CC or when you visit via surveillance.
With electric, if you set up a solar panel and battery system you have a greater ability to stay private by detaching from the grid and external dependencies(at least until you need to buy a part to fix/maintain your car).
Right now is probably the golden era because its before a lot of the OEM have gotten their act together on making a fully locked down system like Tesla but it still is the EV era so you benefit from the example above.
