You're Being Lied to About Electric Cars

I will believe this when it happens.

It’s already in flight - will be in place by early next year. Lemonade already offers some of the best Tesla and EV insurance rates in the industry:

Tesla Car Insurance by Lemonade

Tesla insurance in 2024 costs roughly $35 to $39 a month on average. Check out how these premiums vary by model.

I’d already be with them but they don’t write in DE just yet.

While I argue about the Tesla system and the move to Fully Autonomous System for vehicles
I disagree more with his process than I do with his achievements
The advent of Full Autonomous Driving will be an immense game changer
While there may be a few accidents per millions of miles driven
The accidents from sleepiness, distraction, impairment, or stupidity will be almost zero
There will be almost no need for body shops
There will be little need for speed enforcement officers
The automobile insurance business will be completely different
We are close to the implementation of Fully Autonomous Driving
Probably months, not years away

I wonder why you think this.

AV's are to radical of a change for insurance companies. There is a huge shift regarding liability when using a data driven AV compared to all other vehicles. Also, if you haven't noticed, the big auto makers are producing high power v-8's that people like again and the current political climate is not really supporting EV or AV sales . Currently, section 179 has been fully reinstated for bonus depreciation which means businesses can write off vehicles weighing over 6,000 pounds in the same year they purchase because of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Basically, our government wants business to buy large vehicles weighing over 6,000 pounds and the proof is the section 179 depreciation incentive.

At the earliest, things might come together for commercial AV's in about 3 1/2 years if they ever do at all. Personal AV's are at least a decade away, probably even longer, for many reasons with the biggest hurdle being regulatory and liability concerns.

There have been so many advancements, movements for change, and campaigns for scientific reasoning.

However, there one constant that seems immune to advancement and change. Bill's comments continue to be primarily driven by opinion, conjecture, politics and ideological thought, as opposed to rational, logical reasoning, grounded in established fact. So stay off his lawn.
