Way better prices. Saving about $3000 a year on two cars compared to Geico. But only available in the US for now as you may be aware.

Only available in California, according to their website, which means it effectively does not exist. This is a product that’s been “coming soon” to the rest of the US since April 2019. Unless you live in CA you should include the high insurance costs into your estimate of TCO for a Tesla and treat “Tesla insurance” as a PR stunt.
