This is the equivalent of a database that has really great write throughput but then loses data.
The whole point of a database is to read the data you wrote. The whole point of insurance is that when something catastrophic happens, you get money. If they can’t fulfill the point, it really doesn’t matter if they have great write performance or low premiums.
If it’s anything like teslas roadside assistance it’s awful. I got a flat and waited 6 hours for an indication that anyone even looked at my request. I of course called my insurance roadside after 90 minutes anyway to tow it home. I tried roadside the next two days to get a tow to the service center, over 12 hours each day with zero response.
