      The damage included “deep scratches and punctured tires.”

      Probably about the same as any other car.

      Edit:

      a 2015 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) study found that the Tesla Model S had higher claim frequencies, severities and overall losses than comparable large luxury cars. The higher claim severity was thought to be attributed to the car’s battery replacement cost — a whopping $16,000.

      So teslas insurance has always been more expensive, and this sure isn’t going to help.
