What we need is an open source alternative to the OS’s in our cars, but the hardware is disparate and it faces a steep buy-in hurdle of “spare practically brand new project car”.
It would be good to know which car companies don’t give annoying/intrusive warnings for doing the disconnect.
Plus I’d be concerned about gotchas regarding warranty and liability - GM just issued a recall for brake fluid level software not working, I don’t want to be on the hook for causing an accident just because I didn’t update my software.
This. Shit doesn’t magically communicate with the company that made it. If they don’t want their data used, don’t connect it to wifi and disconnect the cellular antenna and pull the sim card 🤷♂️

I guess there just aren’t many old enough electric cars out there.

It’s still easy to disconnect the cellular antenna if you’re fine with losing features like self driving and map updates.
