Insurance tracker? What the hell is that?Did my first max flooring the pedal today (screw the insurance tracker installed!). OMG is really all I can say!
Bell insurance was the only provider in the UK that a) knew what a Polestar was and b) wasn't going to charge me over £2000/year. They're part of Admiral. As part of the agreement they send you a tracker to install on the car for six months then return. The purpose is to measure your driving style. They measure where you drive, when you drive and how your drive. After six months of driving like a granny/dad then you get a discount on your renewal. So, after nearly four months of ownership I sort of lost it and did a "screw it, let's floor it." I'm looking fwd to my weekly driving report next week. Haha!Insurance tracker? What the hell is that?
Haha! All good questions and God only knows. The letter said after installing it cannot be unplugged for more than 5 mins or the policy is void. I plugged it into the socket on the boot. It comes with velcro strips so I just have it attached to the side wall of the boot. I really wonder how the regen braking effects these type of trackers? There's a PhD waiting to be done.Never heard of this! So many questions!
Where do you attach this tracker? OBD or just give it power?
How do they ensure it stays on the specific car and not your granny’s Micra?
The industry calls it telematics car insurance or black box car insurance. It's a thing!Never heard of this! So many questions!

i know what they are - I’ve worked for a telematics company that launched such a product in the US, but it wasn’t marketed to insurers.The industry calls it telematics car insurance or black box car insurance. It's a thing!
Plugged into the rear socket in the boot. And velcroed to the side wall of the boot. As for how they can or can't tell, I haven't got the foggiest. Maybe you can find out from your colleagues who worked on such systems? I'd love to know!i know what they are - I’ve worked for a telematics company that launched such a product in the US, but it wasn’t marketed to insurers.
How did you connect the one supplied by your insurer and how can’t they be certain it’s not temporarily removed or moved to a different vehicle?
Well, they can’t, that’s the point. You could have just removed it before your acceleration experiment.Plugged into the rear socket in the boot. And velcroed to the side wall of the boot.

It would definitely invalidate your insurance, but in terms of them having the means to verify that it’s placed in the right car and that it’s powered up every time it’s driven, I can’t see how this can be done, especially when it’s something you just plug in the cigarette lighter.Wait, you mean if I actually, really just swapped it into the grannies skoda permanently they wouldn't know any different? Now then, now then...
