Sell them to whom?

[…] and what owners can do next.
Sell their Porsche and buy a car that can’t be locked remotely?

It’s even worse than that. Porsches are locked by default, and can only be enabled remotely.

In 2025? Is that even a thing?

There might be some old Ladas around.

They will be taken by the army shortly, just wait.

You can disable the modem on new Toyotas and they run fine. The dealership will bitch and moan but they can be disabled.

You can also steal new toyotas in a matter of minutes because they absolutely fucked up the can bus security.

One way to tell: disable the cellular modem in your car and see if it still operates.

This assumes there’s a user accessible option to disable it.

I assumed it’s not a option, so I took the suggestion to mean “physically disable” the device. Modern cars have a number of integrated computers and they rarely serve individual purposes, but there’s a good chance there’s an external antenna near/in a window. Granted, I don’t have any vehicles with cell service, so I could be wrong. I do own a drill though

Just wrap your car in tinfoil. Bonus is that it stops the government from reading you mind while inside.

Probably can’t do this unless you’ve already bought it.

That’s the question, isn’t it?
Can you actually buy a car in 2025?

There’s the upcoming Slate trucks, but those are scheduled for Q4 2026.
Blade9732@lemmy.world 1 day ago
The Slate truck is simple for YOU. It doesn’t have lots of bells and whistles, but is still and electric vehicle that runs on computers. I haven’t heard if it has a remote connection yet, but I bet it does. Also, Jeff Bezos is an investor and I am pretty sure it is not some new altruistic streak for Amazon to launch a consumer product that they can’t monetize forever.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Slate will have no OTA capabilities. How they will monatize forever is by selling parts to users and educating them how to service themselves.

You have to do your own updates over USB.

I took the question initially in jest, then sat back and thought about it. fuck.

To be fair though… I came out to my old car without digital nonsense yesterday and it didn’t start either.

Sorry you had to find out your car is homophobic like that.
