My past GM trucks I’ve removed that stupid cell module. There is literally 0 reason a car needs an Internet connection. None.

It’s so bad these days I consider it a national security risk. Imagine a Ukraine like scenario where the enemy (or “friendly”) government hacks/disables all cars. This could severely disrupt underground supply lines or be used to concentrate civilians to areas for protecting military targets.

I’m all for deregulation, not regulation, but monopoly laws aren’t being enforced right now and consumers do not have choices in the market.
