Tesla owners are starting to see their insurance premiums increase, and a recent surge in vandalism appears to be a contributing factor, according to insurance industry experts.
Experts are pointing to a rise in incidents targeting Tesla vehicles, ranging from keying and scratched paint to more extensive damage. This uptick in vandalism is having a direct impact on claims costs for insurers.
Alicia Adamczyk’s reporting on this matter quotes an expert who states, “Vandalism is ‘no different than any other situation driving up claims costs.'”
The impact of this trend is felt across the board. As the number of vandalism claims rises, insurance companies are responding with increased premiums to offset the financial burden. Tesla owners are advised to review their current policies and explore options for managing these rising costs in the face of these changes.
