I don't know much about the space so let me know if I'm wrong, but from my point of view there's still a world of difference between all devices working on a packet network (that's simply efficient) and having ten cameras filming surveilling everyone around me continuously and executable code being pushed to my vehicle over an always-on connection that I have no control over. And then on top of all that is tactile controls so you don't need to avert your eyes or pause podcasts to adjust the windscreen wipers.

Has anybody tried disabling the LTE antenna (or whatever it uses) on a Tesla for privacy/security reasons? I'm sure hoping the car still drives fine without it, but can it be done without utterly voiding the warranty etc.?

I'm sure you can come to a safe stop, and there have to be provisions for when not in mobile range because that does happen on occasion, but long term I wonder what it does for warranty or various features that might have (known or even unknown to tesla) dependencies on being online. I also seem to remember reading about a time lock, i.e. needing to be online every x time, but not sure.
