I think there's a few options, in order of increasing cost:

  • get a really cheap one from ali express or similar
  • get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method
  • modify one to remove/replace any telemetry modules
  • build it yourself from scratch using parts from ali express or similar
  • get a shop to build one for you

I was hoping for "get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method"

The last car I got is from 2015 so in 10 years I'll get one from this year (but not tesla).
