I don’t want the car reporting to insurance hard breaks and such. But frankly I just find these things creepy and I just want a base model car.

    There’s no way you’re “covering up” an antenna. Frequently the antenna is the body of the car itself.

    Look up the fuse box layout of the car model you’re interested in to check if the communication system is on a separate fuse that you can pull without disabling anything else useful.

      Car circuits have too much stuff to do that. It would turn off mant essential things. Instead find antenna connectors and short them with a 50ohm resistor.
