GEICO, the second-largest vehicle insurance underwriter in the US, has decided it will no longer cover Tesla Cybertrucks. The company is terminating current Cybertruck policies and says the truck “doesn’t meet our underwriting guidelines.”
I’m waiting for any kind of sourcing of this that’s more than “a guy on Twitter shared the text of his rejection letter.”
This letter does not clarify if, as a matter of policy, all cybertruck insurance will be categorically rejected.
False claim, debunked by snopes. Mods should consider blocking this news outlet.

GEICO claiming this isn’t true
"In an email to The Verge, Geico pushed back. “Geico has coverage available nationwide for the Tesla Cybertruck,” Geico spokesperson Ross Feinstein said. Feinstein did not immediately respond to follow-up questions about individual dropped policies. "
So maybe it was something VERY specific to this persons use of the truck?
Thank you.
That part about how they insured his other vehicles so that PROVES this is a cyber truck-specific policy was so dumb. Insurance will deny for a million reasons or combinations of reasons.
No word from the insurance company itself? This whole article seems to be based on a single tweet by a cybertruck owner. For all we know his might be modded in a way that they dropped the insurance on it.
Yes the circle jerk on this has gone way too far.
those things are very poorly made and all the most important parts are made of cheap plastic that an average person can literally rip off with his or her bare hands
“their” is shorter than “his or her”
(Even if you don’t care about gender inclusiveness, they is just more convenient)
If you’re correcting, sincerely, then good job.
If you’re trolling… also, good job.
Either way 👍
I wasn’t strictly meaning to correct so much as point out a reason why it’s more concise. I value the inclusive motivation too, if that was hard to tell; I just think there is another reason even if you don’t care about inclusion.
It seems a lot of people are actively opposed to it though, not sure why. I’m just asking questions, you know?
😉
I’ll bet a lot of times people just start typing “he” and tack on “or she” when they catch themselves.
The best English literature doesn’t follow the basis of most convenient or shortest. Sometimes there are other reasons to choose a word of phrase.
The plot of Romeo and Juliet could be rewritten in a paragraph but probably wouldn’t have had the same impact.
Irrelevant. You don’t get to grammar like Shakespeare did.
God, I hope other places follow. I work in insurance and not only is everything about the cybertruck an absolute fucking nightmare to source, let alone find a shop for, every single goddamn owner is like the most insufferable chod. That goes for women too. Tesla drivers could already be a problem, but the truck owners are like regular Tesla owners gone feral.
I hope other places follow
Are they actually allowed to sell these pieces of shit elsewhere?
Also is anyone else stupid enough to buy one?
People knowingly buy stupid vehicles. I’m one of them. It’s expensive to drive, big, has expensive insurance and only seats two but I love it.
I didn’t realise they only had two seats!
Is that one for each of your brain cells? 😉
Someone with more than two brain cells could easily look that up and and realize they’re talking about a different vehicle before insulting a complete stranger for no reason.
I thought ‘expensive to drive’ would have given away it wasn’t a cybertruck, since the only good part about those things is that it’s an EV and probably doesn’t cost much to charge. I might not agree with your decision to drive a huge vehicle, but I’m not gonna call anyone an idiot for doing it.
It’s also generally good form to not make spelling errors (realise) in a comment calling someone else stupid…
Please tell me the comment about the spelling mistake is some kind of weird humour (sic)
It is mostly tounge in cheek, but they did misspell realize in their comment and later edited it to correct it.
I mean if you’re gonna call someone else stupid, but you misspell it you’re kinda putting your foot in your own mouth no?
