Wanted to share a story and to get some advice along the way if possible. Brand new model s, had it less than half a year =(. Got hit and run yesterday on 101 South by an absolute nut job. They hit me exactly at the rear left corner. Metal is so out of shape my chargeport can't open to charge...
Hi all.
Wondering what Londoners are paying for insurance as I’m getting absolutely crazy prices.
I pick up my new Y LR tomorrow and am getting quotes of £2,000-£4,000!
My wife and I are both in our 40s with clean licenses and max NCB.
Any ideas?
I got my new Model X LR around the end of last month, and this happened to me today :( (I haven't even received the real license plate yet)
I was driving on a roadway and made a complete stop due to traffic congestion in front. A car following me did not stop and rear-ended my car. I and the...
Looking for suggestions!!
I will have a short term project in Canada (Markham area) for about 9-10 months starting from January ‘23 and I’m planning to take my 2019 Model 3 (Long Range, 19”) with me (from California, through transportation). Currently, car has regular Continental tires and it’s...
Hello Community,
On the verge of purchasing my first ever Tesla/Electric Vehicle (Model 3 used) from Tesla Website. Little did I realize how expensive these toys are to insurance with legacy providers. I live in Texas, so Tesla Insurance being available is a great blessing in terms of rate...
I've got a Model Y that I'm picking up on the 9th of September. I went through the normal price comparison sites and was getting quotes of >£800. 43yo Male, Oxford, no claims. This compares to £419 from Churchill for my M3 that the Y is replacing. I noticed there were no Churchill quotes for the...
Does anyone know if I have to sign up for Tesla insurance and pay for it to see the safety score? Obviously we all start at 90. At that score, my quote for Tesla Insurance is comparable to my current insurance.
If it turns out my driving is actually sub-90, then the cost of Tesla insurance...

Hi people, just looking for some general advice after spending the past couple months researching across this forum and others, I can’t seem to find someone in the same position, specifically in the UK.

My new MYLR Tesla was delivered to my home 2 days ago. No temporary tags, no registration was filed. Nothing. I cannot drive my new car because they were too lazy to file the state registration and get temporary tags. This might be nothing more than (severe) aggravation, but here is my other...
Hey folks,
My EDD is narrowing and approaching soon. I wanted to see what bank and insurance company are people, especially Bay Area folks, using for their model X.
TIA!
Hi,
Is there a way you can get tesla to give you a quote for insurance after owning the vehicle? I know before I take the delivery of my model S, I can get an insurance quote from tesla via its website without actually purchasing the policy. At that time, I decided to go with farmers since it...
Hello everyone!
Newbie here.
My LR M3 is coming on 22nd June and I ordered this on 4th January😅
I have a question on vinyl wrapping. So my car is being home delivered (didn’t fancy driving to London) and when it arrives, I plan to take it to be vinyl wrapped. Insurance companies are not letting...
Was at the wrong place at the right time yesterday afternoon. My car got hit when this 17 year old kid took this corner at a high rate of speed. I got sandwiched between the culprit and a second victim on my passenger side.
Been having issues with my usb drive and sentry mode has been glitchy...
I want to start of this thread by saying that I loved my Model 3 and i do expect to stay with Tesla in the long run.
Some of you may have heard what happend to my car and for those of you who have not, here is a quick recap:
I'm writing this for full transparency because when my car burnt...
There is no TLDR; when it comes to this. there is no one piece of advice. If you're interested, please give my experience and advice a read.
I've seen many, many, many, people complain about the safety score program. and most of the time, it's due to just not understanding the process required...
Hi
I am looking to set up a salary sacrifice scheme through my business, they are very keen to include car insurance as part of the package, but it seems very expensive to me, I know a business policy will be more expensive than a personal one, but I want my employees to get the best deal...
So i took my Model 3 into a local shop to get the state safety inspection done because the tesla dealership near me does not do them. The top portion of the dash when i got it back had a slit in it. I have never had an issue where a garage damaged my car before. I brought it back and they said...
Hi all,
Sorry for asking some stupid questions here. I am first time Tesla buyer with absolute 0 previous experience. I placed an order on MSLR back in Jan 3rd. At that time, the EDD is 2nd half of 2022 and I wasn't in hurry anyway. I checked tesla app occasionally in the past and the EDD...
Hi all.
Picking up my Model Y tomorrow but having lots of conflicting views regarding PPF/Ceramic coating for the car and it being covered via direct line.
Anyone covered with Direct Line, who has PPF/Ceramic coating on their vehicles? Did you have any snagging/issues when advising the...
My 2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range+ Was recently in a crash. The Tesla Model 3 was declared not at fault. The appraiser declared a Total Loss and Tesla Insurance wants to arrange a Total Loss Settlement. What's a fair Total Loss Settlement for this car? The car had 100,000 miles but worked...
Hello! A bit of an interesting situation, I was backing out of a parking space and then noticed another car started to back out after me. I stopped pulling out as I clearly noticed this man was not looking while pulling out of his space. He then proceeds to reverse into the side of my car. The...
HI everyone,
I have ordered a model Y and I am trying to work out full running costs but struggling to get an insurance quote. Does anyone know where I could get one? I did one for a model 3 and compared to what I am paying for my current car its quite expensive. TIA.
Shopping for insurance for our cars after getting a huge rate increase from our current company due to a claim this past year. The rate more than doubled going to over $9K per year, which is....just wow. Guess they want all the money back from the claim.
Got quotes from most of the majors...

Hi everyone,
My M3P 2021 is estimated to be ready for collection in November.
I’ve purchased it through my own limited company and have a fully comp insurance quote of £733 through Churchill - with me down as the registered keeper.
I’ve asked them how the insurance quote would be affected if...
My Model Y, 2021 suffered a damage due to a front and back end collision. I wonder how much depreciation do one take in selling their Model Y with an accident history? How to find this difference in the price and how can I get it from insurance company? Anyone like to share?
Hi Everyone!
I purchased my 2020 Model Y about two months ago (April). I wanted to shop around insurance rates and remembered that Tesla offered their own coverage in CA.
However when I checked my account, it still displayed the previous owner's policy which expired on June 15. My guess is...
I’ve purchased a model3 via my ltd company (of which I am the only director/employee). It will be mainly used for personal use.
My accountant said I could use the car insurance as a business expense if the policy is taken out by the company.
Im struggling to find any insurance companies that...
Greetings from the Netherlands!
I am about to become a new member of the club and expecting M3 LR 2021 later this month.
When I try to get an insurance quote, most insurers look up the car by the plate number (RDW) and identify it as M3 Performance with 340kW of power.
That makes insurers...
Hi,
I am going to take delivery of my vehicle in a couple days and is shopping for insurance. I am taken aback by how high my insurance rates have come back as ~ 3400 / year.
I park in an indoor garage near Medford and have no past driving incidents in the past 6 years - clean. That said, I...
Hi all, I am a new M3 owner and sadly, I scratched it quite badly after 1 week of driving this new car! I scratched and dented my left back door, left back fender and even some of the left back rim. I got quotes from the only 2 approved body shops in Hong Kong who quoted in the range of HK$80k...
Ok, I have to say I was a little disappointed. I backed up into a parking pole and dented the rear lift gate of my Model Y. Ok, I accept fault. I did it and was willing to pay for my mistake. Set up appointment at 7:30 am on the 10th of this month (It is what the service center offered me) at my...
So, delivery for my 2021 Model 3 LR AWD is scheduled for next Saturday.
I haven't handed in the insurance info that shows the Tesla as already registered, nor the down payment(I am financing through Tesla's partners).
I see that some people wait until actually seeing the car, but I wasn't sure...
I’m wondering if anyone under the age of 25 has got a Tesla and how much they pay for insurance as right now at the age of 22 with 3 years driving and 3 years no claims I’m looking at at least £3k a year. I’ve shopped about on all the major car insurance websites and some won’t even insure me...
Hi,
I'm waiting for my M3 LR to be delivered and meanwhile I'm researching the best insurance I can get. I don't have lots of driving history in the UK so any insurance is expensive by default - but for my current car (BMW) I'm using ByMiles, which has a fair model - you pay for what you use...

I am planning on getting a Cybertruck and want to estimate the insurance range ahead of time. Could you let me know how much is the Model 3 insurance cost per month, state and insurance company? Thanks!
Hi all,
So I had a pretty bad car accident last Thursday on the freeway. Basically a pickup in front of me changed lane very abruptly and left me the pleasure to discover a car at a complete stop (whereas the traffic was great, I don't understand why it was stopped). Of course I was going at...
Hi,
I'm a happy private owner of a Model 3 (ownership birthday next week) - I've just moved house and a new neighbour called around with an issue that I struggled to help with. Hoping the great hive mind here can help him out.
Basically his company have just leased 3 Model 3s and a couple of...
Just been on the phone to Churchill sorting out my insurance for M3LR arriving this week. I'm having some difficulty regarding the acceleration boost software upgrade.

I was just rear-ended in San Francisco in my 2019 Tesla Model 3 (trunk and rear bumper damage), and this is my first accident, so I'd appreciate any advice/help.

me rock. The rock gave me a nice circular art work.
