i look forward to insurance companies charging people more to cover these things because it is baked into the design for you to be looking off to the side all the time

i also look forward to the subsequent whinging about how insurance companies hate the future, and Musk getting to claim the victim while model 3's crash into lightpoles all over the country

look no further friend, the future is here http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/06/06/biz-break-aaa-tells-tesla-owners-pay-up-with-higher-premiums/ and it is real and it is my friend

Why is this even a story? Insurance is a competitive business. If AAA rates are not in line with other insurers then customers will move on. No one has to be insured by AAA. I'm wondering why The Merc looks for nothing but negative news when it comes to Tesla. What are the motives to try to destroy this company?

Look at the demographics of Tesla drivers for the answer. And it isn't income.

Electric/Hybrid Cars are more prone to be totaled because of battery repair cost. So it should cost more to insure it.

Why? : Accident rate, injuries and damage data. Tesla are very safe in a crash and avoid crashes with driver assist features. The crumple zones are huge on a Tesla and that is proving to be very safe.
