    Good to know. So things to inquire when buying a car will be:

    • What happens when I decline the usage terms of the on board system?
    • How do I disable or remove the SIM card?

    I guess in either case the answer will likely mean I will keep driving my existing car until it dies.

      SIM card removal, antenna destruction, etc. Will only help us until they play the insurance card. Can’t afford shooting down the road in two tons of steel without insurance.

      If it’s a Tesla, you lose all access to connectivity, OTA updates, “autopilot”, driver assist, gps, etc…

      Fuck Elon

        You mean like completely rip open the interior, find the wiring for the antennas and cut them? Yeah, not something I’m gonna do to a machine I just paid tens of thousands of Euros for.

            In the cars I know, the electronics are one of the first things they attach to the bare bone car body. Sure I can get to it… by dismantling half of the car.
