ICE or EV?

[CalBears96]

Damn, even Costco is hating on Tesla now. Connect, my car insurance through Costco, just increased my insurance from $1183 to $2157. I was shocked when I saw the Renewal Declaration.

Prius Prime:
Bodily injury premium went from $304 to $394
Collision premium went from $218 to $297
Both seem reasonable

Model 3:
Bodily injury premium went from $255 to $755
Collision premium went from $324 to $584

That's just crazy. I guess I'll have to call Mercury to see if I get a better deal, with the home coverage as well.

You'd be surprised how many non-1%ers drive EVs.

You still think they cost $100k.

That looks like an elitist 1% to me…

According to an Experian Automotive report on electric vehicles, out of the 292.3 million cars and trucks on the road in the U.S. in 2024, approximately 4,092,200 (1.4%) of those were electric cars. This number is up from 2 million electric vehicles in 2022 and 1.3 million in 2021.

Remove California from the numbers and EV's are less than 1% of cars on the road in the other 49 states.
