How much does Tesla insurance cost?
Tesla car insurance premiums are higher than the average rate. These vehicles have unique insurance considerations. Drivers typically pay more for electric vehicles because they have a higher value, and cost more to repair. Tesla insurance claims cost more. For example, not all mechanics are trained to repair Tesla vehicles, which can increase repair costs if the vehicle was damaged or in an accident.
Average Tesla insurance costs can vary. For example, the Tesla car insurance cost in Ontario can range from $1,600 to $5,000 or more depending on the vehicle model. So, Tesla's monthly insurance can be between $130 to $400 or more.
Factors that impact Tesla auto insurance rates
Auto insurance premiums for your Tesla are impacted by many factors. You are subject to the same considerations as gas-powered vehicles. Some are vehicle related and others driver related. They include:
- The Tesla model you drive
- Where you live
- The vehicle usage - personal or business
- Your claims history
- Your driving record
- Driver's age
- Policy type and coverage
