urning off GPS and LTE ruins 90% of the features in the car.

The main purpose of a car is "driving", which you can do. Unless you cannot start a Tesla without LTE, which would be very stupid.

You can also always strip a car for parts. Teslas are not magically safe from that.

The kind of person who is going to disable that LTE connection wouldn't have bought a Tesla in the first place.
