      I suspect you know this, and your post is sarcastic. But just in case:

      Most cars have their own embedded SIMs nowadays. They’re already connected. You can’t disconnect them.

        No, I haven’t bought a new car in many many years.

        That’s absolutely unacceptable. I would have the dashboard pulled out in minutes. Wherever the modem is, it wouldn’t be there for long.

            That’s equivalent to buying a subscription to a car. I would never buy that car. That’s koo koo bananapants unsane.
