Oh, it is. Best bet is to never have anything new enough to have a screen.

Here I am installing my own screen and carrying my stupid phone with me at all times.

The only reason I say a screen is that cars with a screen always have GPS connectivity. So either you buy a base model early 2010s car without it, or you get something older. Because then, it you're truly concerned about being tracked you can leave your phone at home. Plus, no Internet or satellite connectivity means it can't be remotely shut down. Of course, you'd want to buy it cash so the dealership or finance company aren't tracking you for repossession purposes.

Oh I got mine in a private sale, still carry phone with me. Think the GPS is only in my phone tho. Do wish I could get an electric without thw tracking though
