Faraday cages are a thing tho. Jewsh could add shielding for the ECU and EFI system.
Let's recommend a Car/Truck for Null

To defend against an EMP it has to be a closed box, the Faraday cages I've seen preppers use are metal boxes they put their electronics in, if there's a hole with something going in or out, it won't work, the EMP will fuck anything more complicated than a light switch.

An older Honda CR-V is my recommendation.
If you want something that will definitely withstand an EMP, you can adopt a wild horse from the US government for $25 and they'll pay you for keeping it.

No, he doesn't deserve a Joan Crawford car. Fords were made for glamour, not rebellion.

Moonshiners of the 1920's would say differently. A late 20's - early 30's Model A wouldn't be the worst choice, really. Especially if you don't have a long daily commute. And I'm not just saying this because I have a few for sale. They are easy to work on, parts are aplenty and relatively inexpensive. Don't have time to wait for a part? Manuals are available to fix the things with shit you have lying around your house. Learning to drive it is a bit of a learning curve because YOU are the ECU.
Otherwise hit up your local Amish and get a horse and buggy.

Faraday cages are indeed enough. All you need is the gaps to be at most 1/10th of the EMP wavelength. One tiny hole might let the EMP in, but it will be greatly attenuated. Preppers are also preparing for nuclear shoah, which features much stronger EMPs than what pigs use...if they use EMPs.
As someone who has a radio related hobby I can tell you that EMPs are very hard to contain, and are basically MAD devices electronics wise. They'd fuck with cars nearby and shoah the comms on the cop side. And probably cause problems with any comms nearby. It makes no sense for the cops to use EMPs any stronger than strong enough to cause some interference.
I don't think Jewsh should worry about EMPs in the first place.

Cops wouldn't be using EMP's, the federal government would see protests going on in an area and deploy the EMP to shut off people's phones and cars. If they can't just backdoor that shit and disable it that way.

Apart from Subaru's glass gearboxes and head gaskets made of cheese, sure. Null would also need to get himself a man bun and a vaping habit.
Given that Null is talking about buying a car in Serbia, European makes more sense as they're easier to find. Especially Eastern European i.e. Lada, FSO, Polski Fiat, Dacia etc.
The Swedes also used to make decent cars that weren't pozzed; I know Volvo rightfully has a lot of love ITT, but don't overlook Saab. They're just as good as long as you avoid the later ones with shitty GM engines in them. The Saab H engine is just as bulletproof as a Volvo redblock or M-B OM61x series diesels.
All that being said, I still stick by the W123 Benz (with an OM61x) as the GOAT.
As for Jap stuff... if Null was further East, I'd go back to my very first (and unironic) suggestion of an early Fit. There are a lot of old JDM cars running around Russia and beyond, and nobody seems to give a shit about the steering wheel being on the wrong side of the car.

I dunno, this is getting into schizo tin foil territory. Remember, the feds also need their own comms. And of course, as said, EMPs will shoah all electronics in its way, unless they are powered off. EMPs and anything electromagnetic is really hard to contain once you go wireless. It will go wherever it wants. And not all of the population is protesting at a given moment, so it will be counterproductive. Here's what the feds DO use in some situations: just plain simple jammers. They shoah comms, but not the electronics. But since a lot of essential infrastructure uses wireless comms, it's also not the smartest thing to do.
The backdoor part might be possible in theory, but in practice it's only limited to movies. I've never heard of backdoors turning phones off being used by the feds. Not even in authoritarian regimes. These backdoors also don't make sense. If a phone is turned off, the feds can't track it.
What sandnigger feds in Iran do is that they simply pull the plug on mobile networks and the internet in a more conventional way. There's a guy on YouTube, Ringway Manchester, who does various HAM radio and radio comm related videos, so you might find some relevant info over there.
If Jewsh is so concerned about the feds, he should also get some meds, or simply not diddle kids, if that allegation about him being a pedo is true. Well, even if it ain't true he shouldn't diddle kids, but that's probably obvious.
Actually, that electric car, if it's some higher end one, very likely has more torque compared to the gasoline car. The torque is also available instantly, while the gas engine only gets peak torque at maybe 3k RPM. And since this is some big fat gas guzzling SUV, the range is gonna be about the same.

Josh should be worried about getting remotely microwaved instead of caring about his dashboard.

The only and correct reply. I heard an early Tacoma on the recent MATI which I wouldn't argue with. Early Honda Civic or Accord, manual. Cheap to buy. Cheap to fix. Cheap to insure. Cheap to repair. ECU has an aftermarket open source solution free to anyone. Stfu anyone else who doesn't live in the real world this this is over.

To what extent would, say, a nuke really be able to have if you sealed up any holes for plugging stuff in as much as possible, extended shielding over the cords, grounded everything as much as possible that is external?

One option is a mid 90's Ford F-150 single cab with the 4.9 engine and manual transmission. If you opt for a 4x4 version, make sure it has manual locking front hubs and a manual transfer case. You don't need to worry about those things if the truck is just rear wheel drive.
Another option I recommend since Volvo's have been posted previously. The 940 wagon with the b230 red block engine. The automatics have a locking torque converter for better highway fuel economy, its more spacious compared to Volvo's flagship 240 model, the 940 is a very robust platform that's easy to work on, and the red block's can easily go over 500K miles with decent maintenance. Also you can buy all your spare parts from FCP Euro and they have an insane lifetime warranty on everything they sell. You can literally send back used engine oil and they'll send you new oil in return. As long as you have proof you bought it from them first of course.
