| | Tax and insurance for Tesla model 3
I'm thinking to reserve Tesla model 3, and wonder how much tax and insurance is needed for a car like that. Does anyone know? | This user groans at pkb for this post: | |

Base yourself on Chf 5'000.-- and expect a certain amount back as a rebate.

You can have a look at the tax in Zurich on this link http://www.stva.zh.ch/internet/siche...VArechner.html
No clue if it is comparable but might give you an indication.
Zurich Connect has an online insurance calculator, just tip in your data and it will give you a cost estimate.

Road tax calculator for Canton Basel Stadt: http://www.polizei.bs.ch/verkehr/mot...errechner.html
Insurance is mostly based on cars value. A Tesla 3 will cost around CHF 40'000.
Get a quote for a Audi A4 1.4 TFSI, Stickshift, Base Line Modell and you will have a ball park figure.

I said base on Chf 5k and expect a rebate of some sorts but unless we know a few details it is impossible to estimate the cost of insurance.
Juast as one example, if you finance the car via cash or a bank loan, the insurance will be about Chf 300-500 per year cheaper than if you buy it under a lease.

i checked for myself and premiums are actually relatively cheap.

And yes you are right. I probably did the (presumptuous) assumption that there are few 18 year old people from Kosovo asking for Tesla advice here on the forum.
A 18 Year old Afghan (arbitrarily selected as it was the first nationality in the drop-down) can get a Model S100D for around 5000 though.

I have 4 friends in the USA who have Teslas and love them. One big family bought their 2nd.
From my side I love the rebellion of Tesla. They have at least forced us to have a serious discussion / movement (Norway, China) about alternatives to the gas car.
They make me happy every time I see one. | The following 2 users would like to thank kari. for this useful post: | |

Be aware: Road traffic tax is a canton thing and each canton has it own formula how to derive from weight, power, displacement, CO2 emission, and other factors the applicable tax.
For example Zurich uses displacement, weight, and CO2 emission, whereas Schwyz uses power and weight.
For the Tesla 3 this results in a tax of CHF 0 for Zurich (electric cars have no displacement, but also §3 Verkehrsabgabengesetz canton Zurich) on the other hand a whooping CHF ~750 for Schwyz

I don't believe Insurance quotes will be comparable to those gas/diesel cars and certainly not just based on value of car.
Very curious about the Tesla 3. Been reading reviews & watching videos on pros/cons. Shame they still haven't integrated Apple Carplay or Heads up display but the bigger concern is apparently some battery issues in the cold weather

you can buy a used Tesla S with free supercharging for 70k. not really an attractive price.

The equivalent would be a 100D in ModelS era, so I'm not so sure about that. Plus this is new.
It's still a massive depreciation on Tesla's from new.
