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?
they started taking orders from presales in Canada and they went through the entire list, I'm not sure if any have been delivered here yet though
Presumably, "other places" refers to other insurance companies. IOW, GEICO is (allegedly) denying them coverage. OP is hoping that Allstate, Progressive, etc will also deny coverage.
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.
Why comment in the first place then? We're talking about Cybertrucks and you start talking about your vehicle, people are gonna assume you mean the Cybertruck
Because I'm pointing out that people don't only buy vehicles based on what's wise or optimal. For some, it's also a hobby and they have different preferences as what to drive. At the time of buying my current truck, a wagon would've been sufficient. I just went with what's essentially my childhood-dream car instead. I've since developed an actual need for one too, but even now, a van would be a little more practical. Truck is simply more fun and nicer looking, while being the same size.
You can see why people misunderstood you though no?
I asked "is anyone else stupid enough to buy [a Cybertruck]"
You replied - [context as assumed by a normal person]
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?
Size is relative. Here's my "huge" truck parked next to an American one.
Sorry mate, your comment really makes it sound like you were starved of oxygen at birth and bought a Cybertruck.
As you were
People shouldnt knowingly buy dangerous vehicles.
They likely didn’t know they were dangerous when they preordered and many are now stuck with them. I think they have a no resale contract for 2 years after buying.
I mean I don't mean to sound ridiculous, but they even looked dangerous. I am not sure why anyone would assume they were safe. I didn't even think they were street legal at first.
That is a bummer to be stuck with one though, but you do have to be rich enough to buy one too.
I suspect that looking dangerous is a positive for a great number of truck buyers.
Yeah I think they would be alright personal use offroad vehicles. Although they didnt build them for that, they could have.
Same, but I like the small ones personally
Now there's an insult I haven't heard in a while.
Take my upvote!
State farm was the first to drop them
Tesla drivers have single-handedly done more PR for BMW drivers than BMW ever could have.
