The difference between the P and the S is part of the problem. But my P85+ is around $17-1800 from AAMI but I have full no claim discount. The additional cost to add a driver under 24 (if I wanted to) was $4,000.

Depends on your age, suburb, driving history etc etc. NRMA for me in an S85 was $1060 with a $1000 excess and 2 other policies, which also makes quite a difference. Shannon's was $1800 even though I have 3 other policies with them.

I should price a P85 to compare.

I didn't go with AAMI as the maximum they would insure a non performance 85kwh car for was $124k. The car cost around $160k on the road so I wasn't really too keen on that idea. I hold about 5 other polices with them so it is not as if I am an unknown entity to them.

RACV & AAMI New for old replacement max value was $135K

Frank, try the RACWA. They are quite competitive.

Tried an online quote for RACWA. Highest model available to pick is the P85 and max agreed value is $150k. This gave me a quote of $886 with $700 excess and NCB protection. This quote includes a 25% discount for a LEV

 

[Dborn]

That is a great rate!! Wish we could get that in the Eastern States!

Not only is the RAC building WA and electric highway, they are also the cheapest in the market for insurance.

Applause for the RAC WA!

I phoned them and gave the online quote number, and the friendly staff member was able to increase the agreed value while keeping the "online discount" in place.
$1141 per annum with $1000 excess, NCB protection and "hire car after accident" - on agreed value of $192k

Tesla Insurance ?

I'm patiently waiting for an X (the S is too low for my creaky ski-ravaged knees), but in the meantime, thought I'd check out how much it would cost me to insure a Model S ...

It took me 5 different companies (all of them large, including Allianz, who insure my Merc) before I found one that would insure an S

I entered details for a P85 (not + or D) and was quoted $1820 (I'm rating one over 40, no drivers under 40 etc).
I thought this was pretty steep, (i.e. $1k more than my Merc)

Can you existing owners please enter the company, and cost of your insurance please ?
I'll try & record them in a shareable spreadsheet.

Thanks, Greg.

Hmmm, it seems i was ripped off then. Maybe because this was before the launch.

 

[GregHudson]

Interesting stats from such a small sample so far. The company that quoted me $1800 was Budget Direct.

There is already a thread discussing Model S Insurance in Australia.
Model X will likely be similar.
