What do you pay for your insurance on your Tesla?

Insurance costs seem to have skyrocketed for all vehicles over the past year. For example, in 2023, I was paying about $130/month for my Tesla Model X (2023). For 2024, that amount has basically doubled to $250/month.

Here’s my info:

  • Tesla Model: X
  • Tesla Year: 2023
  • Location: Dallas, TX
  • Insurance Company: Tesla Insurance
  • Monthly Premium: $250 average
  • Driver Age Approximate: 60M
  • Driver Record: Spotless for past 5+ years
  • Safety Score: 96-97 (impacted by false forward collision warnings).

Insurance is tough to compare accurately without considering factors like driving history, location, and coverage specifics. Two neighbors could have drastically different premiums. There’s also been a general increase in rates across the board.

My wife and I live in the Philly suburbs, late 20s, spotless record. We pay $85/month with Connect for our 2024 MYP. Rates went down slightly after turning 25.

I’m early 20s and paying $230/month for an M3LR. It’s rough being a young driver with an expensive car.

I recently looked into adding a Tesla Model S Plaid to my USAA policy. With full coverage and a $500 deductible, it would cost $381/month. Comparable to other high-end cars I’ve insured.

37M with a spotless record, 2024 MYLR in Texas. I pay $140/month on average with Tesla Insurance, and my rate goes down slightly with a better Safety Score. At 100, it’s around $111/month.

2023 Model 3 in California, Tesla Insurance. I’m paying $180/month, which is better than what AAA quoted me.

2022 Model Y in Las Vegas. $114/month with Tesla Insurance, 30M, Safety Score 99.

Colorado Springs, 2024 Model Y Performance. Tesla Insurance costs me $140-$160/month with an average Safety Score of 90. Rates are impacted by forward collision warnings.

Insurance costs seem heavily tied to location. In Spain, I pay €890/year for a Tesla Model Y Long Range, which includes roadside assistance and legal protection.

Tesla switched their underwriter in Texas in early 2024, which drove my rates up significantly. I ended up switching to Progressive.

2023 Model Y in Georgia, USAA. I pay $1,060 every six months, but rates here are generally high. Adding an umbrella policy also helps.

26M in North Carolina with a 2024 Model Y Standard Range RWD. I pay $64/month with Progressive, bundled with home insurance. Full coverage, $500 deductible.

21M, 2021 M3LR. Progressive charges me $400/month for full coverage despite a spotless record. Young drivers definitely get hit hard.

37M in Texas with a 2024 Model Y Long Range. I pay about $150/month with Tesla Insurance. My Safety Score usually hovers around 97.

In Ontario, Canada, I pay $550 CAD/month for my 2021 Model 3. Clean record, 30+ years old. It’s significantly more expensive here compared to the US.
