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.

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?

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.

Tesla drivers have single-handedly done more PR for BMW drivers than BMW ever could have.
