@VulpineAmethyst Barring that, there is a SIM card connected to a telematics unit somewhere in your car. Thanks to people importing these cars around, needing to change the SIM to a local provider or changing out the entire telematics unit to a 5G version, there are videos on how to do it.

Removing the SIM card should disable wireless communications, but I believe you can remove the entire telematics unit.

Be aware, this will disable many features and doesn't allow for updates. It also doesn't stop the telemetry sent through Android Auto or Carplay.

My suggestion is to keep the SIM in a safe place and attach a SIM extension (pictured) into the SIM slot. This way you can periodically connect the car to the network to download updates, but then remove it again once you're up to date.

This is actually for many cars with connectivity features, be aware that in the future they may transition to eSIM which is like CDMA in that there is no SIM card. So don't buy Tesla again.
