    There's a sucker born every minute.

    If you own a car made in the last 10 years it can be disabled remotely.
    You sure about that? There was talk about kill switch legislation for new cars made in 2026.
    I'm sure about that. In most models it's already there.

    I can start my 2017 Chevy with a iPhone app. Chevy can disable it if I report it stolen

    Bend in the River and I owned a rental home In St Simons Island Ga. for about ten years. AC bills killed us in the summer- sometimes up to $800. Best thing we did was put in a Nest to keep cooling constant. Made money back in one month.

    If you activated OnStar, yeah. I didn't in my car. I'm sure there are some newer models where it's possible, but not all new cars have that feature. Definitely not everything of the past 10 years.

    No onstar. Also, do really think the government need you to activate onstar to disable your car?

    You seem naive

    To locate a car? no.

    To actually disable that's a whole different thing because not all cars in the past 10 years have connected tech. If they did cops would be using the tech now to avoid car chases, etc.

    Most cops are not allowed to chase anyone anymore. Insanity.

    I’m talking about disabling. Not locating. And I’m not taking about the cops. I’m talking about forced rationing auto use in a “climate crisis”. Major automakers could disable millions of cars if given the order.

    But I’m sure the government would NEVER do that. Or force people to take an untested medical procedure to keep their jobs, or go to a football game. Or to carry proof of the medical procedure electronically. Or weld bars or basketball hoops. Or arrest people for laying on the beach….. or have millions of Americans rat on their neighbors for not following the rules. All is well.

    True, but if they had tech to allow them to remotely disable vehicles on a large scale they would be using it. I have no doubt that's coming in the future.

    They have the tech…just waiting for the right moment. More softening still needs to happen. Covid was a trial run. It went well.

    The data connection in 2015 and older GM (OnStar) vehicles is 2G and it is going away this fall as they sunset all the 2G networks. I think they'll lose access to those vehicles. I just got a notice about it today. You can connect again if you download a new mobile app so they can use your phone's network.
