    Well, they’d put the premiums up on tesla owners as the cars now carry increased risk.

      I honesty don’t think vandalism is covered under a lot of insurance policies.

      Also I have yet to see a vandalized Tesla. It would be pretty silly for you to go vandalize a car as that’s not something you want on your criminal record.

      Yes of course that’d be their primary source. But if that doesn’t cover all the payouts then it’ll lead to a general increase in insurance premiums for everyone.

        No, because insurers are already maximising their prices. If they could increase they would. If they don’t price fairly (price inc. vandalism on Teslas only) then they will lose business to other insurers who have proportionally less Teslas on their books.

        At least I’d be getting charged more for a real thing and not the normal made up reasons behind price hikes.
