There's a difference between cars that have a remote connection and cars that won't function without it.
My Audi "communicates". It does not require that communication to function. My 2015 truck "communicates" with GM through OnStar. It doesn't have to in order to function. In the case of the truck, many people have simply unplugged the antenna wire. Boom, no more "remote connection".
I could remove any remote connection to any of my vehicles in about 10 minutes with no downside whatsoever. Will a Tesla function without being connected to Elon?
