To what end? Just to prevent the remote bricking? Does that mean you no longer have to decline their data collection requests every month or so?

Asking as someone who loves their Leaf but could love it more.

No, I wasn't even thinking about remote bricking when I did it.

All of the car makers are making big money by selling your telematics data, so insurance companies can charge you more:

and then there is this:

Unfortunately, the Leaf doesn't really know the SIM is removed, so it still asks me every month. But fortunately, now it doesn't matter what I answer 🙂

Thanks for the info. Looks like I have a lroject after spring plantings, trimmings, and repairs are done.
