I had a windshield rock chip claim, and in my email, I sent this. I'm sure nothing will change, but felt like sharing it here.
"Also,
This new safety score rating update is HORRIBLE. Bordering on discriminatory. Late night driving after 10pm???
I have to drive 10 miles from work to home late twice a week. On an empty 4 lane road. There is zero traffic. Trust me when I say that is FAR safer than in the daytime when half of the drivers are on their cell phones.
Also, I am a non-drinker. As in, I never drink alcohol. So you can rule out that risk of drunk driving.
So, Tesla insurance is saying that if a family of four goes to see a movie at the 9pm showing on a Saturday night, they get penalized for driving home at 11pm after the movie. That is ABSURD.
My premium has been around $105 per month with a score of 98.
Next month, it's going up to $193 with a score of 86.
That is an extra $1,056 per year that my insurance increased, even though I am a very safe and cautious driver.
All because I drive 10 miles on empty roads on autopilot twice a week.
You can bet your bankroll I'll be switching back to State Farm who was quoting me $170 a month.
Christian, I know you aren't the one that has to do with setting these policies, but you are my sounding board. So if you could pass this along to the department that fields insurance complaints, that would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Have a good one..
