      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.

        I’d imagine that they’ll be more expensive to insure in the future if they are getting targeted en masse.
