Then why is Insurance for Tesla is so expensive?


Mine is comparable to what I was paying on an ICE Lexus.

Insurance rates vary wildly based on a lot of factors.... everything from your state, your driving record, your age, your zip code, your credit score, and more.

it's why the threads on "how much are you paying for insurance" almost instantly turn worthless because you get one poster saying "Hey I pay $3000 a year in south central LA- I'm 23 and have 17 points on my license" followed with "You're getting ripped off! I'm a 72 year old guy in Ankeny Iowa who has never had a ticket or accident and only pay $600 a year!"
 

Which ever way Tesla comes out on network pricing, one thing is clear. The move is an important way for the EV giant to further extract cost efficiencies. Drew Baglino, Tesla’s SVP of powertrain and energy engineering, said it best: “Increasing the utilization of the network actually reduces our costs, which allows us to lower charging prices for all customers, [and it] makes the network more profitable … [allowing] us to grow the network faster.”

EV competitors are certainly taking notice. Lucid, after all, for all its talk of disruption, is following Tesla’s playbook. The company is breaking into the market by first offering a premium product. That should hopefully bring better margins while the company works toward more operating leverage and scale.

Tesla’s trajectory proves its competitors have a long, painful road ahead. That’s good news for TSLA stock investors.
