After I disconnect the antenna cable, sure. If it wouldn’t operate without LTE, then hell no.
(But that’s unlikely, since that would preclude people in areas with no signal owning Teslas.)
I’d happily accept the tiny added risk of dying in an accident to have the privacy enhancement of no telematics. I might re-connect it at defined intervals for updates.
But in general, I like the IDEA of Teslas. All-electric car, cool. The interiors make me hurl. I want buttons and knobs that I can use with gloves on and feel while driving, not a giant iPad staring me in the face. The original Roadster was perfect as far as user interface. Model S is a big downgrade.
