Part 6/12:
Tesla continues to push into the insurance domain, with recent filings indicating plans to launch in Florida by December. The expansion follows already established operations in 12 states, but disputes and regulatory scrutiny have marred Tesla's insurance efforts in California—where the state’s Department of Insurance accused Tesla of systemic delays and unfair claims processing.
The criticisms focus on prolonged claim responses, unreasonable denials, and a backlog of complaints—over 4,800 in California alone. Despite these challenges, Tesla’s insurance is still seen as a potential game-changer, especially in high-cost markets like Florida, which has the country’s highest auto premiums.
