So, if someone were to completely disconnect their Tesla from the internet, they could keep autopilot for free?

Idk if they will let you drive without internet. But I'm just guessing.

You could disconnect it in such a way that the car would just think you didn't have reception. A lot of people would get stranded on road trips if they didn't let you drive without internet.

The car itself probably will not work without internet, and they can brick it at any time remotely.

I doubt you could cut it off from the internet completely either.

It requires WiFi to download updates. Mine isn't working to connect through my wifi so there is a pending update that wants to download but can't. I Probably won't be looking too hard into that issue now.
