That means the insurance companies can make the claim they have no statistics accumulated yet of the car's overall performance and safety. So they get to set an inflated insurance rate at least for the first production year of the car.

That can jack up the premiums and everyone must suffer through the first year...
So can 2nd year rates when they get the idea that people drive them into retaining walls on test drives
