Okay there's a ton of spyware in the car, but - just . . don't . . . connect it. Or whatever.
I suspect you know this, and your post is sarcastic. But just in case:
Most cars have their own embedded SIMs nowadays. They're already connected. You can't disconnect them.
No, I haven't bought a new car in many many years.
That's absolutely unacceptable. I would have the dashboard pulled out in minutes. Wherever the modem is, it wouldn't be there for long.
Hahahah, fuse go brrrr.
Jokes aside, they probably shut off the car if it can't phone home within a certain time period.
That's equivalent to buying a subscription to a car. I would never buy that car. That's koo koo bananapants unsane.
Of course, I don't have a facepals account either so - what do i know.

Which of them are you talking about?
Yes
Right.
