I'm honestly baffled as to where they got that idea, most commercial vans are built around standard pallets and wallboard sheets. Mercedes Sprinter and Vito will, the Transit including the Transit Custom will, the Toyota Hiace will, it's pretty much a standard feature.

A motor scooter is a motorcycle in the eyes of the law.

Things like live traffic require a connection though, and Google maps I think does the routing calcs off the device. Most people will use their phone for all that, but the use case is there.

It's great having a work van.

Also, jammers are illegal pretty much everywhere.

I imagine this will be priced in a similar way to a flagship IPhone or a macbook, as it sounds like it has similar processing power on board.

What is the use case for something like this? Who will be buying it once the novelty wears off?

I'd rather poke the GSM modem with a screwdriver.

As I said in my comment, that can be done with the key, no Internet connection needed.

As for the lock thing, I just need to look if my mirrors are folded in or not.

There's just no good reason to have anything beyond the radio/nav etc in a car connected to the Internet. Remote start can be done with just the key.

That's actually pretty funny.

There's a compelling argument to be made that a settlement like that is inherently an occupying force, even if they aren't being used to store weapons.

A lot of people really, really need to learn what is and isn't a war crime. Civilian infrastructure being used for a military purpose is fair game, so if you're storing military hardware in a civilian area, that area loses it's protection.
