For one, that would be illegal in California. Outside of that, as long as it was opt-in, I think it would be appropriate. Progressive at least has been doing this for almost a decade.

What does opt-in mean here? You are still free to insure your Tesla with other insurance providers like Progressive or Geico.

Metromile tracked my vehicle's speed in their app using their ODB dongle. The only way I could opt out of them knowing about my 101 MPH joyrides on the 101 was by choosing a different insurance company.
