    Tesla Insurance customer service and claims experiences?

    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...

    Tesla M3 Long Reach 2021 is identified as "Performance" by insurers

    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...

    M3 insurance with ByMiles

    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...

    Broken Windshield - Model 3

    Driving down the freeway from LA to SD a car in front of me decided to toss me rock. The rock gave me a nice circular art work. After dealing with insurance, I was told I would have to wait 6-8 weeks as windshields are in back order. Has anyone had their windshield replaced? What are the...

Now, I get there'd be some premium -- but going from $100 a month to $250 a month seems excessive. Anyone have...

    Hi Tesla community, I drive a 2017 Model S 100D, 20k miles on board. I recently got rear-ended by a distracted driver. The Tesla-approved body shop told me that the back aluminum panel was bent, so the insurance company's initial low-ball estimate of $ 2,000 is totally inadequate. The shop...
