They have the free recall thing for the eMMC though, and they upgrade the chip to 64GB as well. Regardless, what'd be a good forum to learn about rooting? I'm very familiar with Linux per se. Does it involve desoldering the eMMC and mounting it for changes on another device, or are there less intrusive options available?

You may be able to do this through the root process. Most likely the "dealer" that sold you the car with SC active has rooted the car and as long as you don't update the software you should (in theory) fly below the radar.
Its not rooted. I purchased straight from the insurance auction. I avoided updates/wifi. I even disconnected the antenna in the mirror and they still disabled it. It was working fine before. I was thinking next time take out the sim or some fuse. Im not sure how they get through.
That makes sense...the insurance auction would not take the time to root the car. If your software is not the most recent update there are people that can help...especially if you have a MCU1
There are 2 maroon cell antenna door plugs, one at drivers mirror, one at passengers mirror.
I prefer to pull the MCU slightly out of the dash and disconnect the main maroon cell antenna plug (upper right, near the glovebox) right from the back of the MCU. I feel like that's a better signal prevention method, just in case they can pick up signals thru the length of the cords, like how headphone cords become the antenna of a pocket FM radio.
Which vehicle model do you have? A 3 might have supercharger-to-car direct communication to disable supercharging, but my older S does not have that, and is completely isolated since I disconnected cellular. Try this method below, and let us know if it works

It helps to pay attention and read the whole thread...
The "Man" himself replied just few posts above yours
Im sure it depends on model/software/time it takes but get ready to drop $500-1k
I got a older model s with mcu1 and free supercharging. Its my 3rd salvage one from the auction. I thought I can prevent them getting it this time but they still got me. I thought it was just one antenna in the driver's mirror. I didnt know about the second one. Supercharging worked for a couple weeks after the auction. They usually dont block it for months after but looks like theyre getting quicker. Now I'll have to find someone to root it. So pulling the cable straight out of the mcu worked for you? How long has that been working? And you have no signal at all now? I noticed mine still had a weak internet connection so I thought my way wouldn't work. I thought it was from the bit of cable going from the mcu to the door. Any other issues doing it your way? App access or something? Your way is probably easier than pulling the sim so i kinda wanna try it next time. Thanks for the help. Im trying to learn how these crooks work. This tesla i just got wasnt even in an accident. The suspension was barely damaged.There are 2 maroon cell antenna door plugs, one at drivers mirror, one at passengers mirror.

Ok i thought you said you disconnected cellular. How do you do that?
I am level 1 at this stuff, but nothing was removed like wires or antennas. I think I have shared all that I can. I wish you luck from here
Thanks for the info. Im trying to gather as much as I can about this stuff. Anyone else have more info please let me know.
