If you do a deep dive into the manual, you will see that there is an always-on connection for “diagnostic information”. (I think there is a “DCM” indicator on the display to show when it’s active). I wish I knew what they were sending. I can’t find a way to connect the car to local wifi to send the data, which is probably by design because if I am sending it through an AP I control, I could sniff out some details on where they are sending the data.
