I was lucky to have the DCM in my 2019 Outback (which is responsible for cellular communication and thus this whole STARLINK thing) replaced with a bypass box under the warranty program related to the end of 3G service. My car was trying to go online 30 times an hour or something like that, draining the battery enough that it needed to be replaced after just 4 years. They don't have enough new DCMs so they were willing to replace it with a bypass box instead, which seems even better to me.

So at least my Subaru cannot connect to the cloud anymore. I'm sure it still stores location and telemetry data for insurance fraud reasons though.
