Not all insurance plans are created equal and different coverage levels depend on each driver’s needs and situation.
Tesla offers insurance using real-time driving behavior. This is currently available to all Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y owners in select U.S. states.
Unlike other telematics or usage-based insurance products, Tesla does not require an additional device to be installed in your vehicle. Tesla uses specific features within the vehicle to evaluate your premium based on your actual driving. You will make monthly payments based on your driving behavior instead of traditional factors like credit, age, gender, claim history and driving records used by other insurance providers.
Tesla determines your premium using factors like what vehicle you drive, where you live, how much you drive, what coverage you select and the vehicle’s monthly Safety Score. The safer you drive, the higher your Safety Score and the lower your insurance premium.
