I read most, but not every word of the article, so forgive me if I missed it. Can we just disconnect the antenna/modem on the car so there is no way to transfer the data it collects? I'm under the assumption that these are all satellite-connected.

The people saying it's not discussed in the article didn't read the article. There's more, but here's part of it:

However, “if you no longer wish for us to collect vehicle data or any other data from your Tesla vehicle, please contact us to deactivate connectivity. Please note, certain advanced features such as over-the-air updates, remote services, and interactivity with mobile applications and in-car features such as location search, Internet radio, voice commands, and web browser functionality rely on such connectivity. If you choose to opt out of vehicle data collection (with the exception of in-car Data Sharing preferences), we will not be able to know or notify you of issues
