One Cadillac CTS-V owner’s insurance doubled because the tracker reported his track day activities… https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technology/carmakers-driver-tracking-insurance.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/...e_code=1.pE0.dFEv.M01IE8p63DBe&smid=url-share Patrick
That’s why you take your old-school car to the track you idiot. So far Dodge hasn’t screwed its owners yet.
Maybe its just me but, its hard to have sympathy for someone who signs up for a service that monitors your driving habits, then is shocked when that service is used against them.
I believe that one model of the Charger came with roll bars installed. They know that the owner is going to race it.
But I don’t see any Dodge owners complaining about it getting spied on by their car and Dodge selling the information.
I have long felt that Chrysler has built some outstanding cars, but so have GM and Ford. Chrysler just seems to have more fun building them.
I agree, GM a Ford have both built some outstanding cars, especially Buick ! I used to love whipping the Corvette and the mighty Mustang back in 1987 in my 610 mile GN.
Looks like GM started sharing the telematics data with Lexisnexis in ‘19. This press release is packed full of bullshit about ‘custom tailored insurance DISCOUNTS’… https://risk.lexisnexis.com/about-us/press-room/press-release/20190821-gm-partnership It’s difficult to find a list of who all does this, but so far, it looks like: GM Ford Ram (so, likely all Stellantis) Kia (so probably Hyundai too) Suburu (bet they have some interesting data) Mitsubishi Nissan’s not on the list, but that may be hecause no Nissan driver has insurance.

I remember when the Progressive Snapshot discount came out thinking no way in h@ll I'd do that! Limit hard brakes and accelerations Go easy on the gas and avoid slamming your brakes. Avoid late night driving Limit trips between 12-4 a.m. on weekends, as the roads can be more dangerous then. Drive less overall If you spend less time behind the wheel, you could save more. Stay off your phone Avoid texting, calls, or other handheld phone activity to stay safe and boost your discount.**Read the associated disclosure for this Snapshot claim.
