You can do this with a Tesla of course; either disable remote access (leaving open firmware updates and traffic analysis to the mothership) or remove the Wi-Fi and cellular antennas. While a bit involved, it is entirely possible and will leave you with a perfectly "working" Tesla.

The car doesn't require connectivity. Although it sure is nice being able to pre-heat or pre-cool your car before you go drive it.

There are also jailbreak options for Teslas.. you too can run a virtual machine inside of your entertainment computer.

We should get it right (vs the banking shitshow) this time and mandate FRAND access by third parties at the network-car interface.

And ban auto companies from offering first-party, non-vehicle services.

They're welcome to spin off divisions, who can compete with everyone else.

At least this time around we already have OAuth.
