Tesla Insurance at $23/Month: The Big Catch and Essential Accessories

Tesla Insurance at $23/Month: The Big Catch and Essential Accessories

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're in the market for a Tesla or already own one, you've probably heard about Tesla's insurance offerings. In this post, based on my recent video, I'll break down an insanely low insurance quote of just $23 a month—yes, you read that right—but there's a massive catch. I'll also share my top accessory recommendations to make your Tesla ownership even better. Let's dive in!

The Deal on Tesla Insurance: Too Good to Be True?

Imagine paying only $23.71 per month for full coverage on your Tesla. That's not for minimal mileage either—this quote is based on driving 12,000 to 13,000 miles a year. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, I took a deep dive into a real example shared by FSD Vegan on social media, and it's legit... but with a huge caveat.

The Massive Catch: Full Self-Driving Required

The key to unlocking this ultra-low premium is the "Full Self-Driving (FSD) Discount." In the example, the driver logged over 1,000 miles in a month with 99% of it on FSD. Tesla's insurance uses your driving data, and heavy FSD usage can drastically reduce your rates because it's considered safer.

But here's the rub: FSD isn't free. It costs $100 per month as a subscription or $8,000 upfront (retail price). If you're buying a Tesla and haven't taken delivery yet, I can help you get it for half off—DM me on Instagram to join the waitlist!

Even with the subscription cost, the math can work out. Most of us pay $180–$240 a month for traditional insurance. Swap that for $23 insurance + $100 FSD, and you're still saving big. This particular quote is from Arizona, a metropolitan area, so rates might vary by location (e.g., higher in denser cities). If Tesla Insurance is available in your state, always get a quote—it's often the lowest-cost option.

Alternatives If Tesla Insurance Isn't Available

Not everyone can access Tesla's insurance. If that's you, here are my top recommendations:

• Costco Insurance: Great rates, especially if you're a member.
• Wawanesa (in California): Another solid, affordable choice.

Shop around for quotes from other providers too. Let me know in the comments what your insurance costs are or if you're about to buy a Tesla—I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Must-Have Tesla Accessories: My Top Picks

Now, onto the fun part: accessories! There are tons out there, but I've narrowed it down to the top three essentials: phone mounts, all-weather floor mats, and center consoles. These will enhance your driving experience without overwhelming you.

1. All-Weather Floor Mats: My #1 Recommendation

Protecting your Tesla's interior is crucial, especially if you deal with rain, snow, or kids. I break them down into three tiers:

• Good: Affordable options on Amazon—decent for starters.
• Better: Brands like Tesmanian offer improved quality.
• Best: 3W Liners are my all-time favorite (we use them on our Model X and Model 3 Performance). They're high-quality, durable, and worth every penny.

Pro tip: Use my exclusive promo code Dennis35 for 35% off 3W Liners! The price ends up competitive with lower-tier options but with superior material. Links are in the video description and on page two of our best deals spreadsheet.

2. Center Consoles

Tesla doesn't include a built-in center console organizer, which is a missed opportunity. I recommend the one from Jowua—it's a must-have for keeping things tidy. We use it on all our Teslas. Again, check the links below for discounts.

3. Phone Mounts

A reliable phone mount is essential for navigation and hands-free use. Jowua makes a great one that fits perfectly in your Tesla. Links and discount codes are in the description.

All these accessories come with links and promo codes in the video description to help you save. A huge thanks to everyone who's used them to support the channel—it means the world!

Wrapping It Up

Tesla Insurance at $23/month is a game-changer if you commit to FSD, but weigh the costs carefully. If it's not an option, go for Costco or Wawanesa. And don't forget to deck out your Tesla with those essential accessories—starting with 3W floor mats using code Dennis35.
