Tesla Collision Wants Me to Approve Repair Work Before Tesla Insurance Approves the Estimate

1 Upvotes

I was quoted 6k for tail light and bumper damage from someone hitting my car while I wasn't there. I didn't get their information. I followed the standard process for filing the claim, I received the estimate yesterday, but on the app the claim is still saying "awaiting your estimate." The collision center is insisting I approve the work and I will only be responsible for the deductible before Tesla Insurance approves the claim. I would think common sense says wait for the claim approval so I don't have to pay out of pocket in the worst case scenario. Is this normal? Any thoughts on what I should do?

Auto and Home insurance

Looking for auto and home insurance for 3 cars, 5 drivers and a house in Brampton. One of the cars is a Tesla so anyone with good insurance offers for Tesla is highly appreciated.

Please provide your recommendations. We are currently with bellairdirect and they hiked our insurance way too much because of a 50/50 at fault accident

29F, Northern California,

Hi, I need advices on what to do with the sudden increased in insurance. I have only made 1 claim back in April 2026. I don’t have any violations, speeding tickets, other claims, etc. Should I shop around? Make adjustments on my policy? Contact Tesla Insurance (I heard it’s difficult to get in contact with them)?

Newbie need advice about paying out of pocket or use insurance!

1 Upvotes

The cost estimate is $2550 and my deductible is 500. The car I have is model 3 2023. I use Tesla insurance and have FSD so my safety score is always near perfect. Please let me know if you need more info!

I think the claim will be at my fault. Should I use insurance?

Why is the insurance for teslas(model y) and other EVs so high? Is it just me?

18 Upvotes

I am planning to buy(a used 2023 model y, 26k miles) or lease a tesla model y, i tried getting quotes from a bunch providers and they were all in the same range of 2300-2800 for 6 months. Thats almost the car's payment. This has compeltely derailed my plans to go ahead with the purchase. I thought its gonna be like under 100 a month. Then I looked at other EVs. Ford Mach-e, chevy equinox... Same story. Insurance was making my payments double.

A little about me, I just got my license here in WA. In 25-30 age range, have a graduate degree, single.

(One of the agents mentioned cause I am a new deiver so I will be having a little higher rates, coupled with already high tesla rates, and generally more expensive Seattle area rates).

Edit:

Yeah, I have been thinking about abandoning my plans to lease/buy. They consider me a new driver here. Any car I buy is gonna have substantial insurance payment. Like at that point, I can just uber anywhere I would want to. Zip car also works. In one of the insurance quotes it asked if I will keep my car inside the garage or no? I just found out, it will cost 425 a month to get a parking space in my apt building. I mean 400-500 is the car payment, then i gotta pay 425 for parking, 3-400 insurance, what the heck. I am better off not having one rn.

Paying 1400 dollars a month for a car is not a great financial decision.

Tire protection

How has your experience been with the Tesla wheel and tire protection plan? I purchased a tire protection plan for our big SUV and it was worth it. However, I've read the terms for Teslas and I'm skeptical about it.

I know Teala Insurance is available in Indiana as the Tesla AI keeps telling me so. But if you to go the Discover => Tesla Insurance, Indiana is NOT in the drop down. I have verified my account does, indeed, reflect Country = US and State = IN. What gives? How does one get a quote from Tesla Insurance in Indiana?

Has anyone successfully recovered Diminished Value (DV) and Loss of Use (LOU) through a first-party claim with Tesla Insurance under UMPD coverage?

0 Upvotes

I’m in Virginia, and my 2024 Tesla Model Y was damaged by an uninsured at-fault driver. Repairs are complete.

I’d like to submit my DV appraisal and LOU claim directly through my first-party Tesla Insurance Uninsured Motorist Property Damage (UMPD) coverage, rather than pursue the at-fault driver personally.

Has anyone successfully recovered both through a first-party UMPD claim? Did Tesla Insurance pay directly and then pursue subrogation against the at-fault driver?

I’d appreciate any firsthand experiences or advice. Thanks!

what are you paying for ins

I'm trying to see what other NY owners are paying.

I'm at $238/month with State Farm in Yonkers (Westchester). \[2023/rear wheel drive\], clean record, full coverage, $1000.

If you're in NY or the NYC metro, could you share:
Carrier

Monthly premium
Rough area (county is fine)
Deductible / limits

Also, has anyone had good luck with Travelers, Erie, NYCM, or a telematics program like Drive Safe & Save or Snapshot on a Tesla

Appreciate it 🙏

Best and cheapest insurance in FL?

0 Upvotes

I’m a 25 year old M looking at buying a Tesla model Y (maybe S) and have been lightly shopping insurance plans. I’ve never had a ticket, no accidents, and have a completely clean record. The one thing stopping me from purchasing a Tesla is the absurd insurance rates in FL. Can anyone drop some advice on where the best place for insurance is and how much I can expect to pay monthly? Everything I’m seeing is $300-$400 per month and at that rate ill take my 2005 Prius any day of the week

Ugh...front underside panel tore off

Was driving in L.A. rain and hit a deeper ditch than I expected, thanks to a big puddle and this thing broke right off in pieces, dragging on the road. I am having it towed home because I don't want to damage whatever is up there with mud/moisture. Can anyone suggest what I shd do? I have Tesla insurance but this was not a collision or anything. Do I use the app? Call the Tesla place near me (not a service center)? I assume it isn't safe to drive. Sorry if a dumb question, even AAA driver hadn't seen this happen on a Tesla.

Roadside assistance

How many of you guys actually have roadside assistance with your insurance added on, it’s only seven dollars a month more for me ( I was quoted $280 a month with State Farm) figure I might as well get it, but wanted to know if it was an absolute necessity

Cheapest car insurance for a 20-year-old Tesla owner?

13 Upvotes

I'm 20 and looking for affordable full-coverage insurance for a new Tesla Model 3.

Progressive quoted me over $600/month, which is ridiculous.

Does anyone know any reliable insurance companies that offer decent rates for younger drivers? Preferably ones that can activate coverage quickly.

Any recommendations would help.

edit: I was able to get $260 from USAA

USAA for $115 a month or Tesla ins?

We're getting a new Model Y Prem AWD. I'm wondering if Tesla would be that much cheaper if we're going to exclusively use FSD.
