You're fucked. Best you can do is ride a bike when possible, and keep driving old cars from the mid-2000s or earlier when necessary.
Lotta early 2010s models are also telemetry free but have newer safety systems and probably less miles on them.
Well, my mom's 2014 golf mk7 doesn't have telematics. Just look at the specs and buy a car based on it.
