I visit Colorado 2-3x a year and I also don't recall ever using a horn there. But I live in the NJ/NY metro area.

This presents Tesla with a minor dilemma; should its car feature reflect the need of those in NY or CO? Perhaps as is typically the norm, the squeakiest wheel gets the grease and we all succumb to / accommodate the needs of outliers/ lowest common denominators.
I use it liberally as a teaching tool, so always good to have it readily handy. But not in anger
I think it's more about tracking changes after all the hype driven mainly by YouTubers about the changes for 2024 VINs. So after all the we're getting a camera , then better ambiant lighting and of course invisibility mode (ok I made that up 
). Seeing 2024 vins and getting an old school horn is pretty funny!

And now... State Farm insurance just to add this vehicle is 253/mo, versus Tesla insurance 390/mo. I figured it would be double my ICE vehicles, but wow.
$3K to $5K PER YEAR just to insure a Tesla?
And, people talk about EVs saving money. Add the cost of electricity in my area of $0.26/kWh overnight. No way.
If I had to pay that much for a Tesla, I wouldn’t even bother. Luckily, my rate for Tesla isn’t that bad.

I called progressive, their number just for the MX, no multi vehicle or home bundle, etc, is $2000 a year, coverage double the minimums. Every county here in Texas has different rates so it is hard to compare with many of you in different places but there you have it.

Wow! My MX rates are actually better than my ICE car. So strange that rates vary so much for the same vehicle depending on where you live. I can expect some variance but it seems like the ranges are pretty wide.

Just a WAG here on my part but where dealership influence is high, coverage for Tesla is high…with all else being equal.
We recently (about a year ago) switched from Progressive to Tesla here in Colorado and our rate dropped over 30%…with better coverage. Furthermore, over time, we have gotten both of our cars’s scores to 99-100 and that further reduced the premium. The initial quote / premium from Tesla reflects an average score of 85…I think.

What company provides your electricity? I am in the SDGE area and they have an EV tier of service which give you a very low 'super off peak' rate (<$0.10/KWH) between 12 midnight and 6AM when you subscribe to the TOU-EV rate.
I know SCE has the same. Have you contacted your electricity provider to get on one of the EV rates?

Nice. We are in NC so can’t get Tesla insurance and I was surprised how much more Geico is charging for our MX tax edition vs the MYP we had before the MX
