Why not just remove the antenna or SIM card from the modem?

Cars are now using eSIMs. Cutting an antenna wire only limits the effectiveness of the communication. You can wirelessly send and receive data with a solder terminal on a board if you're dedicated enough.

I wonder if removing the antenna would possibly cause the modem to try to transmit at a higher power level, thus running the car's battery down.
