What happens if you have FSD turned off and like to drive fast on public roads. Will they see this telemetry and raise your rates?

It seems the answer is yes. From their web site:

      Someone with a Plaid will need to test this out to see how high they can make their Lemonade premium.

      This (instant torque) is exciting for about the first week of electric car ownership, it gets old very fast. I have far more fun driving my much slower gas-engined cars.

        Speak for yourself. Over 3 years and 100k km and still enjoying it.

        It doesn't get old. What a ludicrous statement.

        I did get lots of traction issues with FWD EV, any sort of wet - you need to baby it.

          There’s much more to enjoying cars than speed in a straight line, which I do not disagree at all most EVs are exceptional at.

          Booting the go pedal at every stop sign or light just feels like being a bit of a childish jerk after a short while on public roads once the novelty wears off.
