    I’m still not sure if those require giving the car a WiFi/cellular connection or if it’ll just use it’s own… I’ve heard that cars use their own SIMs to phone home, but I don’t actually know how prevalent that is

      I know for a fact Ford ships a modem with a SIM and they use it sparingly because it’s expensive. Don’t know abt the rest.
