The capabilities of the vehicle_commands section are frighteningly diverse (able to control details of the charging systems, make noises, remotely prevent the car from moving, plug locations into the GPS (unclear if that'll cause autopilot to start moving there).

I guess this means that the remote parts have basically unrestricted access to what they can do to the car that you theoretically own. Fun times.



If you don't like it there is a toggle in the car to turn off remote access entirely. You can leave it off permanently if you want. If that's not enough for you then feel free to also remove the SIM card from the computer.
