Will only GEICO be going up or will others too?
I got a similar letter from All State.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Anyone with experience with “Main Street America insurance”? Some sites suggest they’re the cheapest in NYC, they are A rated

are they driving a beater? consider forgoing collision and comprehensive coverage and getting only liability.
Risk is opportunity

A younger family member wants to get Car insurance.
On progressive
The broker suggests he add an older member to the policy. This will significantly reduce the rate.
He claims on this progressive policy if he is involved in a collision it will only go on his record not on the older member added to the policy.

Does anyone know this to be true?

Call and ask what the increase was or why.

A relative told me something like this happened to him, also with a tesla and IIRC Geico. I think he just switched to a different insurance company.

Anyone familiar with AAA insurance? Is it as strong and reliable as Geico?

It depends on the insurer. When I replaced my Camry with a M3, the increase was negligible with Allstate.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Does it makes sense that GEICO wants $900 a year to add a 19 year old girl on the insurance plan?
The plan currently is for around $1000.

Sorry, my numbers were off.
The policy with GEICO is for $1700 a year to insure a couple.
GEICO wants $900 to add a 19 year old girl.
It sounds high to me.
Is this normal?
