Model Y UK Insurance Quotes Gone Live

All these insurance companies must be manually copying and pasting data from Excel sheets to other screens hence the delay
I'm still able to get updated quotes from compare the market this morning. Have you attempted going to Admiral Insurance directly on their website? Worth bypassing the comparison sites to help troubleshoot the issue. They seem to be providing the most competitive quotes at present. That may change when more insurance companies enter the field.
Strange, still nothing for me. None of the information I've provided is out of the ordinary. I've tried Admiral directly but they're not listing MY as an option yet.
Yes, how odd. I've attempted the direct approach via the Admiral website and MY not showing as an option. So that issue isn't just affecting you BenjiG! Yet I can get an Admiral quote via a couple of comparison sites

The tracker although its e sim card is at least an ability to track the car incase it was stolen which is better than nothing and gives the insurers a larger amount of cars with a tracking facility which in theory should be cheaper for all, i think with time this should improve.
The car does have an alarm and imo is better than most car alarms, I get the feeling that Tesla security is advanced and they need to catch up.
Also, Pin to drive, which means short of a flatbed nobody is taking the car, even if they steal your phone/keycard.
Flatbed theft isn't nearly so prevalent as simply breaking in and getting a car started with stolen keys or hotwiring.
It'd be interesting to know what the theft/recovery rates are in different parts of the country. I've heard it's worse in the southeast because of people flatbedding a tesla then getting through the channel tunnel before anyone notices (hence the suspiciously cheap parts on ebay), but no figures on it. Stealing a working Tesla.. that's harder because the moment you power it up it tells the mothership where it is.
This is from 2018, and I'm sure it's got better since.. Why it’s almost impossible to steal a Tesla (and get away with it)

I've found quotes via confused.com to work out the cheapest amongst the comparison websites. Admiral insurance are working best for me. I spoke to LV this week, who are currently not quoting for the MY, as I am currently insured with them. Their technical team advised to check next week as there is a chance it could appear on their database. I'm sure more insurance providers will go live for the MY in the next week which will hopefully result in more competitive quotes!
Hi, New to the forum, only place I could find any info on Model Y insurance, thanks to which I've succeeded in getting a quote from Admiral. Me 66 yrs old, wifey 70. All clean spotless driving histories. £855.03. Still a bit doubtful, as other insurance companies state that MY hasn't been rated by the insurance gods yet. Has someone dropped the ball?, with maybe 4000 Model Ys at Southampton docks all needing to be insured and driven away and 2 and a bit weeks to go, phew.
Nah it's normal - insurance companies move at the speed of snails on sleeping pills..
When I got my model 3 there were only 2 insurers covering it.. and that was a couple of months after shipping.
DL look to be almost ready (some have managed to get quotes already), that would be 2 for the model Y launch as well.
(Smaller independents like Novo can also give cover although they're not going to be cheap I imagine).

I would suggest that anyone taking delivery of a MY this month gets a quote "in the bag" from a comparison site (Admiral Insurance via confused.com worked best for me). Although more insurers may go live in the next couple of weeks, premiums are likely to get inflated by the short timescale to needing insurance (< 3 weeks). Had a chat with LV yesterday who confirmed as much advising that my existing policy for a car just sold may be worth cancelling rather than waiting too close to my collection date of 26th February.

Wow - similar to other people being quoted over £1000 for the cheapest (non-blackbox) policy which is more than double what I was paying for the Range Rover it's replacing... hopefully that improves before my March 01st pickup date 
Almost identical situation to me... But you got a much better quote!

Currently drive a 2018 Q5 & pay £320 with Admiral - MY LR Quote from Admiral was £870!!!!
I just contacted Direct line on a web chat - I know these are not always the most accurate advisors - I enquired when they would be offering quotes for Model Y insurance. Their reply was 'We don't cover Tesla Model Y as the vehicle is not meeting our underwriting criteria, we will not cover it'
I'm not sure if that means their not covering it in the short term or they have no intention of covering it.
I have emailed Tesla to see if they are aware of their partner insurer not willing to cover the Model Y. At the moment it seems Admiral group companies are the only option
