Man trapped inside driverless car as it spins in circles

To be honest Tesla is bad for insurance.  When I was looking at quotes for my future car it was something like

Tesla Model 3 - £2,500 per year with £500 deductible
VW ID.3 - £780 per year with £350 deductible
VW Golf Mk8 - £760 per year with £350 deductible
Existing VW Golf GTE - £600 per year with £350 deductible

In other words, the older car was a little cheaper to insure (it being worth half as much) but the petrol & EV equivalents of each other (roughly same power, price, size category) were about the same, whereas the Tesla was much more expensive.

Teslas have long repair times due to deliberate focus on Tesla on producing new vehicles with their production capacity.  They also have a reputation for bad drivers.

I did an indicative quote this year (my insurance renews in April) and the price should fall by a bit from where it was.
