I got bored after the first paragraph.

I got bored after the first paragraph.

And that's worse than Jalopnik how?

And that's worse than Jalopnik how?

It is definitely not worse than Jalopnik because that is impossible.

No mention of what it cost to insure the Model 3.
I'm taking delivery of a Long Range Dual Motor this week and insurance quotes vary from $1200 to $3500 for basically identical policies. What gives?

 

[DopeGhoti]

My insurance went down. If you're getting a rate hike, it's time to shop around.

 

[untilcomplete]

My insurance also went down when I got my 3.

I think some companies are taking into account the excess time some repairs can take due to the horrendous spare parts supply problem Tesla has.

Say what you want - I'm on month 2 waiting for parts to fix my wife's Buick ... The body shop is also Tesla-certified, and even said if we had the same damage with the Model 3, it'd be fixed long ago.

Sigh.

Geico refunded me 650usd/6months to remove the Model 3 from my policy.
Tesla Insurance cost me 450usd/6months and I'm covered much much more than Geico.

 

[manto]

For me nothing comes close to geico having good driving record, two cars multi policy and a condo policy. Those multi policy discounts add up.

Nobody said that Tesla has a monopoly on poor parts support. But overall, there’s nobody else who’s worse. Period. This means that if your insurance is supposed to provide you a rental while your car is being fixed, they’re going to pay more in claims, which means we’re going to pay more in premiums.

I don't necessarily agree... Rental cost is usually capped on a first-party policy, so that's a fixed known cost. Has really little to no bearing. As for premiums.... my State Farm policy went DOWN when I replaced the Cadillac with a Model 3. No concerns there either.

Its funny how different insurance companies are for different people. Geico was nearly 3x the price of USAA for me. $310/mo vs $110 for the same coverage.
