It’s hard to say without knowing where you live, what your driving record is like, what kind of coverage you are looking to get, who your insurer is, and a whole host of other factors.
It’s possible the rate could be double what you were paying for the Lexus and that’s just the way it is.

I shopped it hard, Geico was the lowest. My current AAA insurance was a huge disappointment. They are not even trying for Tesla owners. $3K.year!

That's what happens when your state openly allows petty crimes with no punishment. California has decriminalized property crimes under $1,000 and will not even prosecute in most cities. San Francisco alone has over 30,000 car burglaries per year and will do nothing to stop the crime wave. You guys have great "leadership" out there -- citizens get to pick up the tab for dirt bags.
LA Area People, watch out! They are stealing Nose Cones Now!

Well that does explain it... In general we Californians are not crazy, it is the major cities that are completely nuts. Bummer as it makes us all look so

I understand, I live in what my relatives in southwestern Virginia call the "Occupied Zone" in Northern Virginia, Fairfax County near DC, the rest of the state looks at the occupied zone like complete idiots and would push them out of the state due to the stupidity that they legislate.

They should be thankful for the “Occupied Zone” as it funds a disproportionate amount of the state budget. Southwestern Virginia is pretty much a drain on funds.

That is very true! We are the tax revenue generation capital of Virginia... again they think I'm crazy for living here!
I just priced USAA and they are competitive. They might be the best option after I combine everything.
Except they would love to have the income, quality of life, access to art and culture and other opportunities most people who live in the Northern Virginia enjoy. We have relatives in Northern Virginia and love how progressive Virginia has become and they love raising their family there.
Of course I wish there were penalties and prosecution for people who damage other's properly and from what I can tell Virginia is not lax about being enforcing laws. All things being equal, I'd take some legislative anomalies if it means we have a government who care about the environment. Also be careful what you wish for. If not for the tax revenue from Northern Virginia, the state will have serious fiscal issues. AFAIC Northern Virginia keeps Virginia sane
Back to the topic of discussion... I've heard stories with GEICO being hard to work with for Tesla repairs. Anyone have any recent experiences with GEICO and a Tesla claim?
We have not selected GEICO out of concern for them being hard to work with god forbid we have to take our baby to a body shop.

I talked with an insurance agent about that and he said it was because that because when you get into an accident, chances are the car is totaled due to the construction of the car. You are going to be seeing a higher rate here in the next few months for the Teslas due to readjustments with Farmers, if you ever want to go with them. But they will still be competitive. The other companies will just take time to catch up to the price increases. California is especially bad due to the people only getting a cut-rate insurer to cover them.
