    Model 3 insurance

    I don't really think percentage wise there really is that many wrecks though? I think the people misusing autopilot is what does it, but it is pretty much always user error and again the percentage is very small and they don't look at how many wrecks or lives it has stopped or saved! It is just...

    Model 3 insurance

    Do you think doing the online quotes are accurate or will you get much different results talking with someone?

    Buying used tesla with no Autopilot and FSD. how much to upgrade?

    Awesome! How often do you think they have discounts like this? I'll have to call and ask. So how much did it come out to be? I wonder if they would lease a 2018 model? Would these always show up if you look on the inventory page on the tesla site?

    Model 3 insurance

    I just made a thread on this but haven't purchased yet. Others are getting some pretty low insurance rates but I was quoted very high. Have you looked at different companies? I'm hoping I can find something as it will keep me from purchasing the car as I don't want to spend that much in insurance.

    Model 3 insurance rates

    Good to know! I am really hoping that I am able to find something cheaper as I most likely won't get the car if I have to pay 300+ in insurance :/

    Model 3 insurance rates

    I do currently have insurance it has just always been under my dad's account. I pay for it, but haven't worried about getting on my own plan before. Maybe that's a factor. I've also been driving over 10 years. This agent is with Farmers and my dad has been with her for years and years. I asked...

    Model 3 insurance rates

    Model 3 insurance rates

    I think it helps somewhat as I can see that what I've been quoted seems to be very high. I know its very personalized but I can't see any reason why I would be so much higher, but I'll have to check into it now. Thanks!

    Model 3 insurance rates

    Ah thanks! yeah you are right if you look on Tesla's website it shows your lease payment and then your lease payment after estimated savings. The estimated savings includes the federal tax credti and then estimated savings for gas. So then I assume they might be factoring the tax credit into the...

    Also, probably a stupid question but if you lease a Tesla you don't get the tax credit do you?

    Model 3 insurance rates

    Hello everyone, I am considering either leasing or purchasing a Model 3 and I was wondering what you guys are paying for insurance. I am talking with who my father has for his policy and I feel like it seems a bit high, but don't have anything to compare to. Thanks!

    Pay in full with personal check?

    Fair enough! Definitely easier said than done and I get your points.
