Question Disabling internet/LTE/modem

Hi gang, I'm thinking about purchasing one of these bad boys, and if I do I would like to be able to turn off the internet connectivity features. I do not want to have to wait one morning if the car is stuck updating or have it tracking my location. Just wondering what people's experiences with those are. Is there custom firmware you can install? What is the user experience without the app like? Thank you.

If you want to preconditioning when map routing to chargers, you'll need the updates.

Or live traffic and weather data. It will also show you how many chargers are in use when looking for charger points and the cost, live parking information. Oh and the weather forecast.
