Lemonade Launches FSD Insurance Discount in Oregon

Lemonade Inc., the American insurance company, is offering Tesla drivers in Oregon a 50% off per every mile driven with FSD as part of its new Autonomous Car insurance program.

The insurance company directly connects to the vehicle data to calculate the charge based on miles driven each month, and FSD miles are half the price based on Tesla's safety stats.

A low fixed fee covers parking, with no minimum FSD usage required, and coverage includes crash repairs, liability, theft replacement, roadside assistance, and Tesla perks like wall charger coverage.

Driving as we know it today continues to change, and insurance companies are realizing they need to adapt.

Rivian R2 Impresses Reviewers in First Drives as Model Y Challenger

The 2026 Rivian R2 is a smaller, more affordable electric SUV designed to make Rivian vehicles accessible to a wider audience. It maintains the adventurous, boxy styling seen in the R1S but introduces new features like a roll-down rear window and a spacious front trunk. The interior is impressive and high-quality, offering clever storage solutions and innovative steering wheel controls. Despite its compact size, the R2 provides a surprisingly roomy back seat and a practical cargo area. It delivers strong performance with a quick acceleration and maintains a respectable ground clearance.

That's it for today. See you next Tuesday!
