most people want connected cars, my gf loves preheating our BYD when she heads off on an early morning start before she hops in, seats and cabin have been prewarmed etc. she likes the 360 birdseye cameras and I must admit they are very good

Neither of these things require the vehicle be "connected". The cameras are entirely local to the car, naturally, and remote starters worked just fine for decades without being online.
