Better yet, don't connect cars to the internet. Why does everyone care so much about a shitty tablet in the middle of the dash? I am so much happier to not have it.

The cellular variant they're talking about and the mesh variant don't provide you internet access, they provides them access to your car and driving data, and you can't control that. It doesn't really give you any benefits.

Edit: and, also, cars shouldn't be internet connected. Nothing will change my mind on that.
