Now I`m gobsmacked! LV was the only company who flatly refused to insure my MY LR for one reason only, because it "doesn`t have a subscription-paid TRACKER fitted" and that was quoted just a few hours ago, today!
I would probably answer yes to that as you can always see where the car is via the app.
Idle speculation...everyone can have an opinion but it doesn't mean its fact. Try being positive for a change...you might feel better!
I mentioned in an earlier post that I was also unsure whether I needed one or not, so I emailed LV and got this response:
Thanks! Sorry I may have missed your earlier post, there’s so much activity going on this week. I’ll change that and resubmit for a quote.
Your posts do sometimes come across as if you’re trying to convince yourself you made the right purchase.
Yes I agree we all know that we can all see where your Tesla is in the app.......BUT this is NOT what they are asking for on the application form, it clearly states "....a subscription-paid tracking device" Methinks IF they found out you said YES to this question it just gives them yet another way to wiggle out of paying a claim......take care!
Mmmm interesting, so just out of interest, I`m going to re-submit my form aswell using the YES answer to the tracker.....we`ll see?
It’s frustrating they even ask and leave room for uncertainty. They know what the car comes with as standard (as you can see when entering the make, the model, the spec, they can surely pull that info down too from somewhere).Mmmm interesting, so just out of interest, I`m going to re-submit my form aswell using the YES answer to the tracker.....we`ll see?
You guys are making this look very difficult.
So as and when we get a diffinitive yes or no from the `horses mouth` tomorrow say, we can all make that informed decision if need be!You guys are making this look very difficult.
Let’s look at their own clarification:
a tracking device is an electronic device, which is fitted to the car and emits a signal
(to either your mobile phone or another device
or to a monitoring service that you maintain a subscription for) N/A (but it was an OR)
that enables the car to be located anywhere in the UK in real time
by monitoring service, they just mean if you have bought a tracker it has to be active (eg the subscription hasn’t expired) but that is a moot point here, as we aren’t using a 3rd party service like ‘Tracker’…
Good advice, trying to dodge or fudge the question on a car worth £60k is madness and risky as different insurance companies may take different points of view. Better to assume it doesn’t have a tracker if it’s not listed on the approved trackers list and not tick the “other tracker” option. Act in haste and repent at leisure and all that jazz. If the insurance cost is too high for you after shopping around, perhaps you should buy a different car.
Hands down he’s the worst poster I’ve ever come across since discovering this forumYour posts do sometimes come across as if you’re trying to convince yourself you made the right purchase.
Yup, collecting on the 22nd. Now just trying to figure out how to public transport to Bluewater from Norwich...I'm in the VIN club - yeah!!
After badgering Tesla web chat and Octopus this morning, Octopus have confirmed my VIN - LRWYHCEK4NC447xxx
Look's like i'm in the 'Class of Q3'. Anyone else down for Bluewater collection, mid to late September?
Which doesn't make much sense really. If you're parked, why would you need a tracker? If someone steals it, it's no longer parked
At the end of the day, Tesla's don't actually have a dedicated tracker, you can just use the cars GPS chip via the app, just like you can track your mobile device.
