In Q2 2020, Elon Musk and Zachary Kirkhorn stated that the company intended to expand Tesla Insurance. Last month, those plans seemed to be pushing forward with the company taking steps to introduce Tesla Insurance in other US states, including Texas, Illinois, and Washington.
Outside the United States, Tesla has already introduced its insurance program to China. The EV automakers have also taken steps to take Tesla Insurance to other European countries like England.
Last week, Elon Musk shared that Tesla was building up its collision repair capabilities. He noted that Tesla Insurance would make collision repair transactions smoother for customers.
