I think one other thing that people should consider is that LN only has the preceding six months worth of data. Turn off smartdriver, hope it stays off, and in six months your record is clean again.

Ha! I was right. NYT does the leg work and car mags just repost and change some wording. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60175396/connected-cars-driver-data-tracking-insurance/

This hasn't happened in my case. I requested, it has remained off.

I've owned eight forced induction cars, currently have two, and this is nonsense to me.

Congrats bud!

The auto-enrollment is puzzling. I turned mine off the day I bought my car and it hasn’t turned itself back on. Multiple updates to the app too.

The NYT article points out that language stating what 3rd party providers receive data from GM ONLY mentions SiriusXM and no one else.

Yeah vettes and camaros both had this blue (but I'm 90% they called it something different even though it was the same) EDIT: Confirmed. Boracay Blue Metallic, and Brilliant Blue Metallic both have the same paint code WA895T

If I didn't get the bronze wheels on my car I would be replacing them with something aftermarket as I don't really like the other options. Totally understandable to grab a set of those nice Apex wheels.

It's a little difficult to photograph accurately but I think these represent them the best. I don't have a ton of good pictures because I just can't seem to get it to show properly.

The info is there for others to grab, you might as well know what they are seeing!

Yeah really the only problem I have with the transmission is when it's cold that 1-2 shift is a little crunchy.

I bought mine new, but they also couldn't verify my identity. I called LN and it was a bug in their system not reading my address correctly. The person on the phone corrected it with me on the line and resubmitted. It's not car related, it's something screwed up with their verification process...

We live in a world where youtube 'journalists' like MKBHD can post a review of a dumb Fisker vehicle that will get more engagement than the NYT will about literally tracking your everyday life. People's priorities are F'd.

As an owner of a coastal blue metallic 5BW... yes, yes it does. I love it.

Couple things: Regarding point 1: it doesn't exclude track days!! In the article it talks specifically about someone getting dinged by bringing their Vette to the track. Regarding point 2: I think the automotive press isn't so much investigative journalism anymore, but rather click-bait...

Yeah I said this earlier about completely opting out: Doesn't sound great to completely get out.

NYT did a complete write up about this very subject today. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technology/carmakers-driver-tracking-insurance.html If it’s behind a paywall: http://archive.today/lmMp9

I was on Reddit asking when this thing was coming back online lol

Bumping this. Same thing happening to me. Anyone else?
