    Fuck that noise.

    What happens if the car goes out of range from the internet? Does the car just lose power the same way I can’t play Gamepass games offline?

    I already bought the car with the hardware in it. I will do what I want with it.

    My next car will be a 1995 Honda. I’m so tired of being tracked all the time.

        20 years ahead even. Most 2015 model year cars have modems that no longer have networks to connect to. (CDMA, WCDMA, etc.) Also, you can pull the modem fuse on modern cars.
