Metromile - anyone used it?

Has anyone used Metromile?

I ordered a Metronome dongle the other day. It plugs into your car's diagnostic port and connects to a phone app. Think of it like Strava or Garmin Connect for your car. The Metronome is free because they're trying to sell you car insurance that's largely based on mileage. So for someone in the city who puts something like 4-5k miles/year on his car, this takes my insurance bill down from almost $1,000 to $300. Only available in CA, IL, OR, and WA so far.

Curious if anyone has used it. Not sure if the Polestar will throw them off. Mine is lamentably still on a truck somewhere between the port of Baltimore and my Chicago dealer.

They're doing a lot more than just selling insurance. The unit seems to have its own data plan so it is talking to some server about you all the time.
