Not only, your car has telemetry being sent to a server somewhere.
And don't get smug thinking this only affects Teslas or other electric cars. GM pioneered this shit in the '90s and even a Toyota Corolla has it now. There are ways to disable it without making the ECM angry.
I tried building a faraday cage around the antenna and was abruptly surprised when it didn't work. I hit the emergency button, saw it call the dispatcher. Hung up. Mr. Police officer came a few minutes later. Oops!
Why don't you just disconnect the antenna?
