It would be incumbent on the insurance company to prove that you willfully circumvented the system. Given an accident serious enough, the Tesla's computer could be physically damaged to the point where no data could be retrieved.
I’d bet they find a way to not pay out.
Insurance is generally not in the business of breaking contracts. If they have a legitimate reason to not pay, they won’t, but they won’t screw you over just because they don’t feel like paying. The risk is too high
Ummm... Insurance companies are all about finding ways to not pay and breaking contracts. You think average Joe can spend millions going against insurance companies lawyers? And what risk? They can hold people in court until they break them or they die broke from fighting insurance companies. Hell, my mother's life insurance didn't wanna pay and we had to get a lawyer just to make them pay a pretty straight Forward insurance policy.
Insurances don’t want to lose in court but they will investigate and find reasons to deny a payout.
