Tesla’s High Loss Ratio Raises Concerns for Its Insurance Business

Tesla‘s (Nasdaq: TSLA) foray into the insurance industry has hit a roadblock as the company grapples with a high loss ratio, particularly in certain states where it has reached a reported 140% or 145% loss ratio in some states (and almost 115% in 2023). 

The electric vehicle manufacturer’s insurance arm, which operates through its licensed carriers, Tesla Property & Casualty and Tesla General Insurance, as well as a fronting arrangement with State National, has seen a significant increase in written premiums, reaching nearly $500 million in 2023.

However, the impressive premium growth has been overshadowed by the company’s struggle to maintain profitability in the complex world of insurance. Adam Denninger, global industry leader for insurance at Capgemini, told Insurance Business that many technology companies entering the insurance market often underestimate the intricacies of the industry, leading to substantial financial losses.

Tesla’s initial approach was to act as a distribution channel, relying on advanced telematics and safer cars equipped with multiple safety aids to reduce claims. Unfortunately, the high cost of repairing these technologically advanced vehicles when damaged has contributed to the company’s escalating loss ratio. Additionally, Tesla faces a class action lawsuit alleging the over-inflation of premiums.
