How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Tesla Model 3
Every state except New Hampshire requires drivers to carry liability coverage, but you’ll also likely want to insure your Tesla with some other common coverages. These are some options you should consider:[4]
Collision coverage
Collision coverage pays for repairs or replacement of your car if it’s damaged in a collision with another vehicle or object. It also helps cover the costs of repairing your vehicle, regardless of who’s at fault in the accident.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive coverage provides protection from non-collision events, such as vandalism, theft, and natural disasters. It covers the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle if it’s damaged in any way other than a collision.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage protects you if you’re involved in an accident with a driver who either doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance to cover the damages. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage pays for medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs.
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage helps pay for medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of who’s at fault. It covers things like hospital visits, surgeries, and rehabilitation.

- Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
- Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
- No additional coverage
