Cell modems are getting cheaper and cheaper, it’s only a matter of time before cheap smart TVs will flood the market with always-on telemetry and intrusive personalized ads.
Like the other comment said, if you drive a car made after 2014, don’t bother. You drive a rolling tracking beacon regardless of what you do with your smart devices…
Until a few years later when all the used TVs have cell modems. The same thing is already happening in the used car market, it’s getting harder and harder to find a reliable vehicle that doesn’t have a cell modem and a long T&C that let’s them spy on you.

Well then I guess I make the room a giant faraday cage.

Tracking/privacy and ads are related, but separate issues. Cars might track where you are going, but they aren’t showing ads (yet).
Look up Stellantis pop up ads, then look how many brands Stellantis owns… Truly dystopian.
Oh, yes they are…
That sounds like a great reason to return it and buy used lol
