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.”

    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.

      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?
