The linked article is about a fraud conducted by a few bad apples. I can see people colluding with others that are similar to them for criminal activities - gangs, drug smuggling, and probably other frauds too.

That's avg time to replace a battery.
Hmm really? My Camry made it nearly 10 years, and my Civic still had a good battery 6 years in when I sold it. Regardless, the battery and DCM were both tested by Subaru. The battery tested bad, and the DCM tested for a high parasitic draw. I drove the car daily, and the battery would die if I didn't drive it for 4 days. I didn't just make this up either, search "DCM parasitic draw" on Google for more. Subaru even se…

I worked for a company where we (a Midwestern company) were acquired by a valley company and at HQ there was a clear divide between the Indian (US citizens, not H1B) folks and t…
> I didn’t realize this data was being collected, but it seemed that we had agreed to the STARLINK enrollment when we purchased it. This is mind blowing to me.. Number 1 why you need a car connected to the internet all the time ? And how you're not required to sign at least 10 forms to confirm you understand that ALL of your travel data will be recorded and distributed at will.
Remote start, climate etc from the app all require and always on connection (how else?). Tesla has the same thing. I use the remote app often - quite useful.

Maybe I'm used to harsher weather in the Midwest.
