As of the Tahoe upgrade even when disabling the WiFi Adapter all together the following command returns an error:
sudo spoof randomize en0
/bin/sh: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: No such file or directory
Error: Unable to disassociate from wifi networks

Is there a new command or better way to change the current WiFi Mac Address via Terminal?

see if there is anyinsight here—
Use private Wi-Fi addresses on Apple devices
Working solution on Tahoe is
First you have to erase the automatic recognition of the public network you were on. Keep WiFi enabled, and click "forget this network" of the WiFi network name.
Get interface (en0, en1, etc…) that WiFi runs on (opt + apple icon upper left -> system information -> network tab).
Enter in terminal: “sudo ifconfig en0 ether”
Should show MAC address currently, copy that and save it just in case
Enter in terminal: “sudo ifconfig en0 ether < paste MAC address >”
Should now change MAC address
Yes and no, this does change and rotate Mac addresses with the built in mac settings, however, it does not change it on demand, as many times as you would like as you could before with the "sudo spoof randomize en0" command.
TAHOE - sudo spoof randomize en0 (Mac Address Change) No Longer Working
