Is there an option to physically disable this?

When i finally get an EV I don't want it to be online in any form, is it even possible to get one like that?

    Install the latest update and hope for the best.

    Or try disabling bluetooth.

    Or try to get a car without autonomous parking.

    Seems like there is no real option though.

    I think there's a few options, in order of increasing cost:

    • get a really cheap one from ali express or similar
    • get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method
    • modify one to remove/replace any telemetry modules
    • build it yourself from scratch using parts from ali express or similar
    • get a shop to build one for you

    Remove the modem. When I was researching chevy bolts that was the first video I looked up and there was a guy walking through it. It involved opening up the panels and was time consuming but I was willing to do it. Unfortunately, didn't end up getting a chevy bolt.

    Edit: sorry, I didn't read it and it appears to be bluetooth or radio frequency. Removing the modem would not prevent this attack. Probably update the car and hope for the best. Unless you figure out how to remove rf and bluetooth
