Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

that's such an abomination. i hope you find a practical solution.

Unplugging the car's antennas is free.
as if their documentation/staff would even tell a truthful number of antennas in the vehicle......
sure maybe the first and second ones might not be difficult. after that, if someone wanna remove and separately inspect every single component of the vehicle, more power to you (read: good f***in' luck)
I was able to disable data collection by first using the app to remove a specific service to which they subscribed me and for which I was not yet supposed to be charged but, oh well.
Ugh. What year car is that? (Or... how old a Honda do I need to buy to avoid this nonsense?)

It's not if it fucks your overall warranty or voids other services (afaik BMW just amended their tos with something like that).
Yeah, and as was mentioned there are probably several hidden antennas. in the onboard computers.
