I wonder how hard it is to disable certain tacking “features” on a car. Could I simply remove the WiFi system, cut an antenna, or pull the power to a section?
Yes. At the very minimum you can locate the GSM transmitter and snip a few circuit board traces. It’s not simple by any means but as long as it’s not integrated into a monolithic chip it will be possible.

The only issue is your entire infotainment system including the radio will probably stop working.
Darn. I might be willing to take that loss, assuming I can keep the speakers and A/C.
