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.”

    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

            Also is anyone else stupid enough to buy one?

            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]

              People knowingly buy stupid vehicles. I’m one of the m [people that bought this fuckin monstrosity]. [The Cybertruck is] expensive to drive, big, has expensive insurance and only seats two but I love it.

          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…

              Sorry mate, your comment really makes it sound like you were starved of oxygen at birth and bought a Cybertruck.

              As you were

        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.
