I can assign 4 SSIDs on my Access Points but quickly realized this would be a Security Issue unless you can isolate from rest of network.

Likewise, I’m a bit concerned about having a SSID and Password the same where a hacker to access my car at home or in motion while I am in it.
Simple: You change the SSID/Pass that the device is preconfigured to join with. PTF gives instructions on how to do this and it's really simple. As for malicious actors, chances of that are extremely low. You have the hotspot in your car while driving and that's it. I mean, if you have a #1 fan to stay within the range of your hotspot while on the road, then you might have other issues to deal with.
Your house isn't moving and giving access to the network that your other home computers are on is dangerous
