Perhaps, put a tinfoil hat on your car's wifi or cellular radio? (I imagine it must use s cellular data connection for the backups given not everyone will log the car into wifi) But with seriousness, it's a good question. I would be surprised if the purchase agreement for the car doesn't somewhere include a clause that you agree to allow the car to make updates. In 2012 when the pushed the first big update, Wired indicated owners couldn't opt-out [1]. Looking at their legal website [2], I see that under Rights & Choices you can turn off the collection of Telemetric Data, which may disable periodic software and firmware updates. But no, on a casual Googling, I don't see it outlined anywhere how they manage opting out of those updates.
