    If it continues, insurance companies will not insure Teslas. Already happened to certain Audi and Porsche models that had subpar plating underneath. Spontaneous combustion would easily do that to Teslas.

      Also happened to Range Rovers once people realised they were insanely easy to steal.

      It got so bad that people that owned them on finance could no longer get insurance. This made a tonne of them hit the second hand market making them cheaper. Meaning people with finance couldn’t even sell the car for the money they owed on the finance.

      Range Rover started offering their own insurance and I did a quote for fun and they just said nah fam.
