> an always-on connection that I have no control over
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.
