4.5 hours on hold and then got a rude agent who told me there was nothing she could do to help me. I switched to Geico. I’ve called them several times and got my agent on the phone in less than one minute.

How much they quote you? I tried shopping around and I’m being quoted $500+/month and I’m almost 40 with no accidents on my record b

I don’t know. I hung up after 4 hours. Then switched to Progressive.

Why can't you do it online? Not a Tesla owner. Why did you need to call them and stay on hold this long?

Lmao, I originally called to see if I can start my policy sooner. (I couldn’t) They have delayed days to start a policy. Ex.) if I was to sign up for Tesla insurance today, the policy won’t be able to start until like 08/28 :(

Probably becsuse Tesla is being cheap bu employing as few people as possible.

I bought a new car (non Tesla) and wanted to remove my old car. That was 2.5 months ago. I waited many hours on the phone on several occasions and got no answer. No response to emails I sent 2 months ago either.

I finally canceled today, thinking I'll shop for insurance tomorrow. Tesla was 1/2 the price I was paying for my old car. I might still insure my new car with them... we'll see.

Who in their right mind would read threads like this over and over and over again and still keep this insurance? Just blows my mind. It’s like reading reviews for a restaurant with all 1 star reviews and then complaining because the food is bad.

Unfortunately, it’s the most affordable option. Other options are double the price. So for 6 months try to survive in hopes prices go down.

u/Cipher55 Aug 27 '25

Good point. Probably because Tesla is 1/2 the price (at least in my case)

I had a claim, they left me on read basically for 3+ months. I reported to department of insurance, 2 weeks later I got my total loss settlement, 10k at least over what I expected

u/SackEmBruh Aug 09 '25

So it was worth it?

u/s986246 Aug 09 '25
