The relationship with DL goes back to 2017, well before the Model 3 arrived in the UK. I'm not 100% with the accuracy of this but I believe a Model S owner lived next door to to a senior guy at DL and approached him to seee if they'd be interested in settting up an arrangement. When it first started there were just a couple of staff there that new about the deal, so you had to make sure you spoke to one of them otherwise you got told to do away! And there was a 5% discount if you had Autopilot.
They were really good when the spate of MS & MX theft's were going on, and before the Owners Group had managed to get Tesla to add PIN to Drive via a software update. DL sent us a faraday pouch with some advice on how to try and mitigate against theft. Obviously in their interests as well but a nice touch.
Doesnt't mean they are all things to all men though. I tend to yo yo between DL and LV but YMMV
Try Direct Line they have a Dedicated Tesla Team, when I was organising Insurance for my M3 in August 2019 they were the only Insurer who knew what they were talking about.
I recommend the search function - this topic is well trodden

I just got an online quote from them too - also cheapest I could find. Only concern I have is the "Peugeot approved accident repair centers" and Peugeot original equipment parts and paint". Would that cover a Tesla?

You can take it to any repair company of your choice. Same for most insurance policies. Ge really if you do you lose the courtesy car.
*When you use an approved Peugeot accident and repair center.
They've also confirmed to numerous people including myself that you can take your car to Tesla if it's been in an accident and needs a repair.
Also, they are underwritten by UK insurance who own Direct Line and Churchill and numerous other brands. When I got my documents through I had to send my proof of NCD to Direct Line house I think it was.

Ok not that badAviva quoted me 2300... For M3. Beat that
. I’ve been getting £1400+ which is still ridiculous. So if anyone can shed light on an insurance provider that has the option to input the MY as the model, please do share!

Where do you see the Model Y as an option? I don't see it listed on this page:
I called both Direct Line and Churchill yesterday. Both said when it's available online (they estimated February), then it's available in their systems to use.
Maybe it was a computer glitch at the time as I was definitely able to choose Model Y. Here’s to hoping that the pricing was a computer glitch as well!Where do you see the Model Y as an option? I don't see it listed on this page:
