tesla car owners - can you 'disconnect' your car from tesla's monitoring and over-the-air firmware updates and take it 'rogue'?

I do not over-the-air forced updates for anything, and if I owned an EV I would be especially concerned about it.

If you own a Tesla car, can you 'disconnect' (maybe by finding and disabling the mobile network radio hardware and/or removing it's SIM) the car from Tesla's remote monitoring system and from receiving forced over-the-air firmware updates to take the car 'rogue'? I wouldn't own a Tesla unless I could do that.

nope cant .. the whole system will alert base before it can be fully tampered with, and will shut down until a tesla rep looks into it

@SW-User Hmmm - a challenge brewing. Get cheap tesla 3 junk car and make it go 'rogue'. I've read that the UI systems in a Tesla all run 'stripped down' Linux, but the other stuff doesn't, and that a Tesla car should drive/operate normally if the UI systems crash and require 'rebooting'. That's re-assuring, but I don't like the idea of the car being 'connected' to the Tesla 'ecosystem' 24/7
