Rules out any vehicle for sale in the US today with a built-in cellular connection.

I haven't bought for a long time, are these required to run the car? Or is it just prohibitively obscure to disable it (smash the antenna or connect it to ground, for example).

  • Probably not intended to be required, but some implementations are buggy. IIRC when 2g was killed off some Subarus had a problem where they'd keep trying and failing to connect to a 2G tower until the battery died
