That's one of the things I like to tell friends or family I know that will say "Voting doesn't matter". I'll usually say something like, "Think of the most vile person on the opposite side. If you vote then you're negating their vote at a minimum. Because you know that extreme person is going to vote every time."

Doesn't always work since some people are stubborn but changed a few people!

I think it throws an internal error if you pull the fuse or cut power to it? I'm not entirely sure. I did it so I could disable it and if I needed to re enable it for any reason it would be really easy.

Here's the Guide I used! I had to wing a little bit for my vehicle but it was still really easy https://quigs.blog/how-to-disable-onstar-on-the-chevy-bolt-to-protect-your-privacy/

I recently bought a 2021 vehicle that has OnStar. I knew this would be a concern, but luckily there was a guide online to replace the antenna with a dummy antenna that isn't ever able to connect to the network to send data.

So that might be an option! It's still collecting but it's not sending anything back.
