Anyone have issues with their insurance for a Tesla?

[MeBeetle]

I have Erie in Ohio. 500/300 with 500/100 deductibles. Had a 2008 Ford Fusion and a 2016 Honda Odyssey. Kept both cars at same coverage, added the Tesla (but lowered the ford to a “pleasure” vehicle as my son grows 2 more years)

Annual premiums went from 1300ish to 1400ish. I don’t know why or how, but that’s how they changed for me.

Wow, thats the complete opposite for me.

Is speed a factor on rating?

No. Speed and acceleration are not a factor, as I can tell.
Minor deduction for unsafe following and the biggest seems to be forward collusion warning, which happens without me even noticing, and aggresive turning. Both happen to me and I have no idea when they happen.

Sounds like I’ll stick with USAA. I hate the idea of an insurance company judging my driving daily. I’m already married.

Oh, Yes- I have issues

Instead of reimbursing me $1095 for a legitimate windshield replacement (in Aug) as promised, Tesla simply charged my credit card and Tesla Insurance didn't blink.
I have been calling multiple numbers at Tesla Insurance over a few days, including the mysterious claim adjuster, NO BODY PICKES UP MY CALL, NOR RETURN MY MESSAGES.

Before you decide on signing for Tesla Insurance, remember- they are very good at at taking your premium on time, but when you need to talk to a human being none is available. So consider others.

Tesla launched its own car insurance. These drivers say it's a lemon.

Elon Musk promised cheaper, better, even “revolutionary” auto insurance after Tesla started losing sales because of high premiums. But understaffing left some customers waiting weeks or months for compensation as they continued making payments on crashed cars.
