And you won’t be able to drive your cell network connected car… making logistics impossible. It’s a big enough wartime issue there ought to be a regulation that the cell device should be able to be “pulled” and the car defaults to “fully enabled”.
- frickinLasers 1y agoDo you have examples of cars (that aren't Teslas, perhaps, since they don't play by normal car rules) having been disabled due to lack of cell service?
- exabrial 1y agoNot to avoid the question, because I simply don't know, but do you (or anyone) have directions on how to yank a cell module from a list of cars and still have the car function?

Many cars have something similar (remove SIM card, cut antenna) that allows them to keep working without connectivity
- frickinLasers 1y agoWould be nice to have a page full of forum posts like this for various cars. Incidentally, this link recommends termination resistors, which I think are the better answer if there's a suitable connector (which I imagine is the case for most cars). If it's not terminated, I believe it can still pick up a nontrivial signal.
