This thing is definitely not internet connected. The basic trim does not even feature a radio at all, only standard space to fit a 1-DIN radio yourself. It has manual (roll down) rear windows.

I don't know about the US, but I would be surprised if you can't buy an F150 that has no internet connection?

You probably can buy one with no network connection, that the user can use, but that doesn't mean that it isn't connected for other purposes.

Eh. Why spend the cash on a chip and service when the vehicle will need to be services eventually and all info can be downloaded then?

good point. but real-time data is probably a bit more valuable.

Yeah, the majority of Dacia models doesn't even come with an air conditioning by default. It's extra, but you know what, I like the idea that it can be left out :)

Air conditioning didn't really use to be a standard thing in European cars until quite a lot later than in the US.
