Background
Tesla, Inc. is a global pioneer in electric vehicles (EVs), energy solutions, and autonomous driving technology. Beyond its core automotive innovations, Tesla has expanded into financial services, including InsureMyTesla—its proprietary insurance program designed exclusively for Tesla owners.
InsureMyTesla offers a fully digital, data-driven insurance experience that leverages real-time vehicle telematics, ensuring personalized coverage and competitive pricing. The program has seen success in Western markets, but its expansion into the Middle East and Asia posed significant challenges, requiring regional adaptation, regulatory alignment, and cultural localization to ensure widespread adoption.
Core problem
Without a localized insurance program in the Middle East and Asia, Tesla faced a major gap in its ownership ecosystem, forcing customers to depend on third-party insurers that lacked Tesla’s digital-first, data-driven approach. This led to a fragmented user experience, lost revenue from insurance premiums, and missed opportunities to leverage vehicle data for smarter risk assessment. More critically, in some countries, the absence of Tesla-specific insurance made it impossible to legally own or drive a Tesla, directly limiting vehicle sales and market expansion.
Approach Summary
Led the design strategy for InsureMyTesla, collaborating with Product Owners, Managers, developers, and insurers to craft an intuitive, high-converting insurance experience.
