1.What is Tesla Insurance

Tesla Insurance is an innovative auto insurance product that bases pricing on driving behavior and driving frequency. Unlike traditional insurance companies that rely on credit scores, age, gender, and claims history, Tesla uses real-time vehicle data to assess risk.

The entire process can be completed through the Tesla App, including:

  • Getting quotes
  • Purchasing policies
  • Managing coverage
  • Filing claims
Note: Tesla Insurance accepts vehicles from all brands for new policy purchases in California. This means you don't need to own a Tesla to benefit from their insurance services in the Golden State.

2. Tesla Insurance Availability

Tesla Insurance is currently available in 12 U.S. states:

3. Pricing Mechanism

Tesla Insurance offers two different pricing models depending on your location:

 

Real-Time Insurance (Most States)

For states outside California, your premium is determined by five key factors:

  1. Vehicle type - The specific car model you drive
  2. Location - Where you live and park your vehicle
  3. Mileage - How much you drive monthly
  4. Coverage selection - The insurance plan you choose
  5. Monthly Safety Score - Your real-time driving behavior rating

California Special Policy

Tesla Insurance in California does not use Safety Score to determine monthly premiums due to state regulations.

California policyholders can still opt-in to receive a Safety Score for educational purposes only.

 

Potential Savings

According to Tesla's official data:

  • Average drivers can save 20%-40% on premiums
  • Safest drivers can save 30%-60% on premiums
