Experts have found that the optimal insurance policy for a Tesla car in the USA is $ 2,503, which is equivalent to about 230,000 rubles, while the average cost of insurance in the US market is $ 1,682, or about 150,000 rubles.
According to journalists, the high cost of insurance is a rather unexpected disadvantage of Tesla electric vehicles.
They explain this by the fact that cars of this brand are assembled from expensive materials using high-precision technologies, which requires the participation of specialists and the replacement of expensive spare parts during repairs.
More premium Tesla models are even more expensive. For example, a Model X may have $3,759 in insurance and a Model S may cost $4,318.
Note that in 2019 Tesla president Elon Musk also complained about “unreasonably high” insurance premiums for branded cars and started his own Tesla insurance service. However, this service is only available in 12 US states.
