    No one likes the option, but Tesla uniquely will let you opt out of all car <-> Tesla communications. Don’t buy full self driving as I don’t think that works opted out. Definitely don’t subscribe to premium connectivity as opting out disables connectivity.

      Is there a guarantee that works? As in, there’s no way to locate my car if stolen? Because that’s what I want.

      If there’s a way for Tesla to access my car remotely after opting out, there’s a way for them to change the terms of the sale and require phoning home. I want technical guarantees, not promises backed by a mutable service agreement.

        Reporters seemed to believe them. It’s not at all common though so I don’t know if it has been tested to a convincing point.
