Hundreds of Porsche cars across Russia have shut down after a Vehicle Tracking System failure caused engine lockouts. Here’s what happened, which models are affected, and what owners can do next.
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
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.

Probably can’t do this unless you’ve already bought it.
That’s the question, isn’t it?
Can you actually buy a (new) car in 2025?
