Tesla Intertwines FSD with In-House Insurance for Attractive Incentive
Tesla has linked its Full Self‑Driving (Supervised) suite to its in‑house insurance, launching Safety Score 3.0 that automatically awards a perfect 100 score for every mile driven with FSD enabled. The update removes penalties for brief manual interventions, allowing drivers to boost their safety scores and potentially shave hundreds of dollars off annual premiums. The incentive currently applies only to new Tesla Insurance policies in Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, Virginia and Illinois, with no disclosed discount amounts. Tesla says the change answers customer complaints and reinforces its safety narrative for autonomous driving.
