> And this drives insurance costs through the roof That's an interesting claim. Any firsthand data to back it up? For me, insuring a 2014 Tesla Model S cost less ($405) than insuring a 2006 Toyota Prius ($429). Six-month period, Progressive Insurance, California, no accident history, identical coverage on both except the estimated mileage was 5,000 annually on the Prius and 12,000 annually on the Tesla -- that's right, driving the Tesla more than the Prius. It's odd that insurance would be lower for the Tesla if it's supposed to be "through the roof." (and for what it's worth, our Model X is even lower -- $337 for six months. Again, identical coverage.)
