Good to know. So things to inquire when buying a car will be:

  • What happens when I decline the usage terms of the on board system?
  • How do I disable or remove the SIM card?

I guess in either case the answer will likely mean I will keep driving my existing car until it dies.

If it's a Tesla, you lose all access to connectivity, OTA updates, "autopilot", driver assist, gps, etc...

Fuck Elon

Is it possible to sideload updates to a Tesla?

Of course it's possible if you have physical access. The question is: how easy? And: are you prepared for them to remotely disble your car while you're working on it
