Just snip the LTE antenna in a Tesla and you have an offline car. I can't claim to know if Tesla has built in any actively hostile features like the car going into a maintenance required mode if it's been too long since a ping home, but I do know that the car is fully operational without connectivity (not including features that required connectivity, like navigation data, of course). There are even physical RFID keys.


That would count as the "aftermarket modification" I mentioned.
