Are you sure other manufacturers isn't able to do the same? My new Skoda is in contact with the manufacturer.
Regardless of whether this person is talking nonsense, Teslas are a hellscape of IoT shenanigans and "you don't actually own it" treatment of customers. Go with another manufacturer for EVs.

Maybe. Should investigate. I'd give others a better chance of not getting bricked if you remove the SIM card and antennas though.

The core problem is that EVs are being marketed as "luxury" vehicles, and phone-home/surveillance has been standard for that market for decades (see: OnStar, etc.).

The problem won't go away until EVs are being produced for the market still buying manual roll-down windows and stick shifts, at correspondingly low prices.
