I'm surprised no one mentioned this, the insurance even on the new rates on Tesla is crazy expensive. Over $2200+ pleasure senior use. My insurance guy says that's easily more expensive than more expensive Benz BMW

Which Tesla? Some of the higher end spectrum Tesla are 6 figures vehicles.

But I'm not surprised as the repair cost for Tesla is high and wait for parts is. So factor in the chance of written off...Tesla and other EV are subject to higher insurance cost.

Aluminium and I guess shortage of parts. My insurance guy said it's because you can't really repair panels, just replace with new

I thought it would be cheap cuz it has the latest safety tech and auto brake but costs more than my 2000s tin cans

This is actually pretty interesting, a lot of buyers take the savings at the pump as a consideration but no one really thinks about cost of insurance as well. I mean the higher cost doesn't equate to the amount of gas but it brings it closer.

You're right about that. More often than not, people do not consider the total cost of ownership (TCO) while doing their shopping. It's possible that people aren't particularly interested in seeing the full picture, but more so jumping ahead of the market to adopt EV/Hybrids and keeping up with the Jones'.

The insurance on my Leaf went down by quite a bit with the new ICBC rates.
I just renewed and it was under $1700 for the year with all coverage.

One excuse about this is how the cost of insurance for different vehicles is far less accessible than other pricing-related information. Imagine trying to cross-shop between 3 different vehicles. How many of us will go to an ICBC agent and ask him to ring up the cost of insurance for each car?

On the other hand, the MSRP for a car is something we can readily check on our own through the Internet.

And everyone else will have different rates depending on their history and policy.

Still feels good to not have to spend $100 a week on gas driving a shit box

I mean if I get to daily a lambo then sure the gas is worth it, but sure feels bad if you barely have 150hp and still gotta pay that

I can't speak for others so I may be in the minority; I always cross check on insurance rates on a few cars I have in mind to help me make a decision. There have been a few situations where cost of insurance was significant enough for me to move on and pass. In most cases, it's splitting hairs. Insurance is just one piece of the puzzle. There's gas, repairs, parts, service options, consumables, and the list goes on.

It pays to build a strong relationship with a good insurance agent. I still have one in Vancouver for ICBC stuff and I have a few that I work with here in Ontario where the insurance game is on an entirely different league of their own. Needless to say, I am in no rush to get a hybrid or EV anytime soon.

Edit: I always forget everyone here is a baller.

Previous policy was $250, after the enhanced care update, the rebate went back into the policy, making the monthly payment about $170, after renewal then it became $190. Only thing that's discounted is the autonomous emergency braking.

Driver factor 0.56

I always checked insurance before, it's a big deal that doesn't go away unless you don't drive it at all.

You should start shopping it around, try Stratford for you optional insurance. I switched to them and saved a lot over ICBC. I think i'm paying somewhere around $150-$160 for ICBC/Stratford for full business use and I have a 2021 Model 3 AWD.

That being said, 3 years ago on my hyundai sonata I was paying about $195/month for full business use.

Most likely the Lyriq. It starts at 60k but most of the good stuff that it offers will be on higher models.
