My concern is once it comes off the pole. You will no doubt have to take it home to extract. Does it not have a way of being tracked?

I've heard rumors there's an unsecured unmonitored usbC port on almost all of them. Completely unrelated: Did you know you can buy USBC power devices that overload any port they're plugged into and fry whatever device they're connected to? It's true they sell them on Amazon! What a fun rabbit hole to get lost in, sorry I'm rambling with my completely unconnected train of thoughts!

IFixit teardown when?

Personally if I was gonna rip one of these apart I'd just drive into the mountains and rend it down in the back of my truck.

Just wrap it in tin foil. It'll be fine

I'm not ruining a perfectly good hat for some gimmick

Smash it and pull out the battery

If they want to tackle this problem they could add a separate low power tracker embedded in the body somewhere. Prolly not doing it yet but if they do you'd have to know where it is to cut it out.
