Tesla Gambles on Offering Discounted Car Insurance on Its Vehicles One issue in calculating the cost over any automobile’s life is the car insurance rates. The cost to buy a car, to keep it fueled (or charged) up and the cost of wear and tear are the first priorities for many drivers. But that the pesky car insurance just has to be considered. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is not a traditional car company. On top of wanting to skip the traditional car dealership model and sell directly to the public, Tesla announced that it is going to start selling car insurance on its own vehicles. Tesla Insurance was announced as a competitively priced insurance offering. The company is claiming that Tesla...

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer during her 2018 campaign tour. // Photograph courtesy of Gretchen Whitmer’s campaign T hroughout her campaign for governor, Gretchen Whitmer touted an earnest willingness to work across the political aisle. It’s the sort of rhetoric voters are used to hearing from candidates, which is why the fact that Whitmer and Republican leaders in the Legislature blitzed through a sweeping, historic auto insurance rate reform law in late May felt so pleasantly disorienting to so many. This thing didn’t just pass. It drew overwhelming support of both parties in the Senate and the House — and therefore proved that the much-mocked optimism and comity that accompanied the first few...

First introduced in 2004, the Auto Insurance Grid rating program sets the maximum premium that an insurer can charge for basic coverage (third party liability and accident benefits). According to the AIRB, about 94.5 per cent of Alberta drivers pay less than the maximum set out by the Grid program.

Thanks, Lansing: Billboards mock high auto insurance rates A series of new billboards in Detroit aim to jump start stalled auto insurance reform talks in the Michigan Legislature by sarcastically thanking lawmakers for sky-high rates. “Thanks, Lansing!” declare the advertisements, which promote a “driver’s choice” auto insurance reform plan similar to the one backed last fall by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. The legislation was rejected in the Republican-led House amid opposition from most Democrats. An advertisement at Adelaide and Gratiot near Detroit’s Eastern Market features a resident complaining his car insurance costs more than his car payments. Another compares rates in Chicago and...
