Insurance cost for new Tesla Model 3?

I'm a 70-year-old female with full NCB, buying new Tesla Model 3; how much will my insurance be?

Hi Susan,

Sadly, we have no idea. Insurance in Ireland is a minefield so complex that it could put off an entire tank battalion. With your age (insurers tend to get a little jumpy once a driver passes the age of 70 — not fair, but little in Irish insurance is) and the fact that the Tesla Model 3 has some pretty potent performance, I would suspect you could be looking at quite a chunky premium. My advice would — obviously — be to shop around as much as you can, but also to find a good local insurance broker who may be able to help you winkle out some better deals.
