"Model year" for insurance?

I was just assigned a VIN for December delivery, so I'm talking to my insurance company about adding the Tesla to my coverage. They want to know the car's year, and I'm not sure what to tell them since Tesla doesn't do model years like other carmakers do. I'd say "2015" if I were buying a newly-released BMW or a Toyota in December, but the car is being made in 2014. Or maybe it doesn't really matter.

Apologies if this is a FAQ; I searched the forum a bit and didn't see it.

It goes by the year of manufacture. Yours would be a 2014.
