The moment someone makes an electric car that doesn't have an internet connection, I'll consider buying one. Any tips?

The upcoming Slate pickup claims to be focused on being a simple EV that a regular person could repair. It doesn't even have a stereo. That said, I have not specifically seen a guarantee that it doesn't have an internet connection.

Dacia Spring, VW e-up, Tesla Roadster (first gen) and compliance vehicles such as e-golf.

Probably a better idea to just pick one you like and then figure out how to disable any wireless communication. But this could really in warranty and charging issues.

The new Slate truck is the only one I can think of (not currently in production).

Some cars have a SIM card which you can remove.

I used to look forward to get a car with screens and cameras and beeps and bops. When i had one that was still pretty dumb for todays standards, i hated it. Oh the board computer stopped working, cool, no navi, no music and no more climate control for you and don't even mention how much a new board computer costs, that is still old and not better than the other one. I had to get a new car last year after not owning one for two, my car is now from 2004 and it's honestly just nice. Not a single button on the seering wheel, no touch screen. The only beeps it makes is 1. Handbreake 2. Seatbelt and 3. Light was left on. It's absolutely glorious
