According to La Noticia Digital, Tesla is offering an exclusive discount on its in-house insurance for users of its Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. Starting February 1, new policyholders in Texas and Arizona can save up to 10% on their premiums, with current Tesla customers eligible for the discount beginning March 8. This marks the first time Tesla has offered such a discount, highlighting the company’s confidence in the safety of its FSD technology.

Tesla's discount reflects confidence in FSD technology safety
Tesla’s decision to link insurance savings to the use of its FSD system underscores its belief that the technology reduces driving risk. As the company prepares to launch unsupervised robotaxi services later this year, Tesla is not just changing how we drive, but also how we think about car insurance.
Which states will benefit from Tesla’s insurance discount?
The discount is currently limited to Texas and Arizona, but Tesla’s insurance policies are available in several other states, including California, Nevada, and Virginia. The move to offer discounts based on the use of autonomous driving technology is a clear sign that Tesla is positioning itself at the forefront of a potential transformation in the insurance industry.
Will other automakers follow Tesla’s lead in insurance discounts?
Tesla’s approach is not just about giving drivers a financial incentive; it’s also a calculated message about the safety and reliability of its technology. The company has long touted its FSD system as a safer option for drivers, and this discount acts as further validation of that claim.
As Tesla moves toward fully autonomous vehicles, the new insurance initiative could signal a larger shift in the automotive insurance market. If the model proves successful, other automakers may follow suit, potentially reshaping how insurance is priced and offered for self-driving cars.
