They aren’t giving you an eSim for free.

Cell companies can give those out for free if they want to… What they offer to consumers is absolutely not the same as what they might offer to a car company at bulk rates. They could even have the car store data and wait for low usage times to upload, it would cost cell providers almost nothing They might even leverage it to use up bandwidth so they don’t have to sell to secondary carriers if they wanted to one day…

for the amount of money they would profit just from selling that data to insurance companies is enough to cover a fucking esim. also, i forgot that cars are free these days and not thousands of dollars.
