TL;DR When making decisions on transportation, DO NOT RUSH OUT TO BUY A NEW TESLA ... don't rush out to buy a new car ... stop being a programmed dolt ... think about learning how to WALK everywhere you need to go.
Conclusion
Intelligence gathering for individuals, especially those individuals aiming to be high agency individuals, involves understand the naturue of how information technologies are used, manipulated ... then actively seeking, collecting, and analyzing less-tainted information to help you assemble the data to begin the process of making better decisions ... it does not matter if your decision is INFORMED or not if it is a WORSE decision because you have been propagandized and subconciously programmed to believe that you require a car or house or a gadget or some material revenue-generator for a tech company -- understanding the technology is NOT about fawning over the technological hype.
