You might want to contact them and ask about the increase, because you may have also lost the Tesla employee discount a lot of us apparently had. But yeah, I definitely do not like the idea of Tesla Insurance using the Safety Score to determine our premiums because the algorithm is flawed. You score can go down do to other driver behaviors, like someone cutting you off causing you to brake and swerve quickly.Mine jumped from $75 with a 99 score to $124 with a 98 score on 6 month renewal starting in October. I did do a lot more driving than the last period but that is a huge increase.
Well if I can get close to the new price with another carrier and no safety score tracking I will dump the Tesla Insurance.They could be paying out more in claims than they thought they would have to
You may not have to wait 6 month. I recall that after they increased my premium for the same reason, I was able to go back into the app and estimate a lower miles level, and shave off some of the premium increase. I chose a level that was midpoint between my previous estimate and what Tesla estimated when they raised my premium.Ah, thanks for this info. I had the opposite. My rates went up to $93 - $98... because I put slightly over 6000 miles in the previous 6 months. My last month was 259 miles. Sigh. Anyway, I guess I'll need to wait 6 months to try to get the lower rates.
Speed is not a main factor or a direct factor for safety scores. Based on my experience, you can drive the car like you normally would and expect to pay the same insurance as you normally would with other providers. May be lesser, may be more in some individual circumstances. However, the combination of Safety Score displayed on the map and the immediately feedback of premiums going down or up at the end of the month, psychologically programs a lot of us to get the best scores and the lowest premiums. I can objectively say that following the Tesla Safety Score guidelines makes me a less risky driver.Why have a car if you can't drive it much due to the high insurance rates? Uber it. Just like trying to make the cut for the "safe driver" rates.
Why pay for a fast car to drive slow? I've driven on the track and driven on the street. I drive fast, as due about 80% of the drivers on I-95. I haven't had a ticket or accident in over 40 years. I would posit that driving the speed limit on I-95 or most other highways, even in the slow lane could make you more of a safety hazard. Driving with insurance monitoring is like driving with your mother in the passenger's seat. Have at it if it makes you smile.
Mine will go up from $153 to $210 with a 99 score from next month. Model Y 2022 in Colorado. I called Tesla and they said my price was based on the mileage when I drive 12000miles per year but they think I am expected to drive more than 12000 miles per year. (7700miles for 5 1/2 months currently) So I am moving back to Geico. They are cheaper and I don’t have to worry about the score.I’ve been a policy holder for well over a year. My Tesla insurance premium abruptly jumped 12% this month. Spoke to customer service and they told me this was due to a discount that was incorrectly applied to my account and that the new rate reflected the correct cost. Now paying $144/mo for basic coverage. Anyone else experience this?
They expect you to drive more than 12,000 miles?! So apparently then we have to call then annually to see what mileage they are using and get them to adjust it accordingly. This is crap!Mine will go up from $153 to $210 with a 99 score from next month. Model Y 2022 in Colorado.

I grew up in South Florida and lived in Central Florida for a couple of decades. I think the more accurate phrase is: “When I get old, I’m gonna move up North and drive slow in the left lane with my blinker on.”You know we have a bumper sticker in Florida that says, "When I get old, I'm gonna move up North and drive slow."
