Sure, I usually carry water and basic stuff with me in the car, whether it is around the corner from home or a 600 mile roadtrip.
But of course, the problem here is the arbitrariness of the power the sales rep wields.
Whether you actually paid them or not, they can push a button, the button can accidentally be pressed, it can be hacked etc etc.
So, this technology opens up a whole new threat vector/attack surface that I really can't control. I can keep my car in good mechanical order and drive defensively, but there's not much I can do about electronic attacks.
I think badwater does have cell service since it is so flat and touristy ;)

That means it's not publically auditable, and generally speaking people who have that luxury tend to screw up their designs, starting to cut corners. And the carry water with you wannabe-counter-argument is nonsensical in this context. As judging by that logic one should always have a baseband station handy to spoof the provider's IP and turn on the car. (Side note, cell coverage actually depends on reflection on buildings)
