    So, if someone were to completely disconnect their Tesla from the internet, they could keep autopilot for free?

      The car itself probably will not work without internet, and they can brick it at any time remotely.

      I doubt you could cut it off from the internet completely either.

        It requires WiFi to download updates. Mine isn’t working to connect through my wifi so there is a pending update that wants to download but can’t. I Probably won’t be looking too hard into that issue now.
