Great question, however the important point here is that the company makes the claim they will not sell user data. "Period." So the company implies that if they are sold they will be sold with no user data
Love this! I got a USB C multimeter and used it to test the output of two dozen chargers. Wanted to see if they supplied the voltage that was advertised. Funny enough, AOHI was the only brand whose chargers actually increased their voltage as my current draw went up. It was like the engineers knew about the resistance in the wire and decided to compensate by upping the voltage slightly.
This one is pretty simple to do. It requests a voltage and then starts pulling current and monitors the voltage as it increases its current draw. If the voltage goes down, alert the user.
With data speed I think it could be a little more complicated. Like OP was saying it would need access to some level of hardware information where it can see which pins are used by the cable. Since the connection 'speed' is still variable even when you DO have a supported cable.
I don't know the author insinuated that. It sounded more like, we release the car now, and as engineers come up with new capabilities, they get rolled out over a software update. Case in point was my car received an update that pulled in weather data. That didn't exist in the UI originally, and they added it with time.
It's also hard to imagine how difficult you must enjoy being, when you could have offered a kind clarification but instead dove into some obituary style takedown.
