Seems like the smartphone app is entirely optional, though? You should be able to use the truck without it. And the “there’s no embedded modem” part means that the truck literally can’t spy on you without your phone helping. There’s also the little bit about “only when connected locally to the car” – which suggests to me that the phone communicates with the car via wifi or a plugged-in cable. So, possibly, you could install and use the app, but just disable internet access for that app. Then you could get the benefits of using the app without any possibility of it spying on you. Or even install that app on a cheap old $50 phone that doesn’t have an internet connection at all, and just use that phone to interface with the truck.
