I’m guessing it’s because if your rust bucket has a claim they only have to pay out a tiny bit of money, while these pieces of shit are unreliable and expensive to repair.
I've been telling people about cybertruck owners posting about getting their insurance canceled or not renewed since friends of mine in Tampa keep seeing them. Basically, "if you see one on the road stay away because it's likely not insured".

After this winter I suspect you won't be able to insure it in the midwest and northeast.
There’s one I’ve seen a couple times in Northern Virginia, it has water spots and is already yellowing ¯\(ツ)/¯
From what I understand the body panels are all different so they all weather at different rates. Great news to find out after learning you can't wash the thing or it will void the warranty.
Was with Geico for 20 years. 0 claims. My R8 was $1300/6 months with them. Back in February they quoted cybertruck at $3k/6 months. Finally went with progressive for $1441.
What I want to know is why you would ever sell your R8 for a cyber truck?
I hate that it bothers me, but I just can’t put myself in the mindset of these people.
I risk a struggle session here to speak so favorably about a car that probably costs ~$160,000 but I just googled that and I have to say it's a sexy beast.
I just got a quote from Geico for a Cybertruck to add to my policy. It was about the same as to add a model s and less than a. Model x by 100 per 6 months
You can get the quote without an issue, but when it comes time finalize it, reportedly it won’t be possible. Let me know though if it works out.
Tesla fanboys and florida vacationers being the first people to get booted off of privatized property insurance might be the best way to start the era of climate disaster. The only way this would be better is if all the newly uninsured cybertrucks are in florida for a IRL meetup when a hurricane sweeps them all into the ocean.
Would it be gauche to sneak in a couple of things for myself? Nothing too heavy. Maybe just no car problems for a while, and maybe those Modest Mouse tickets I want?
which is baffling in the usual yankee way of something sounding like it's a government program when it is in fact an absurdly conceived private entity. auto insurance for government employees based on the frankly insane hunch that a government employee is magically less likely to wreck a car.
I avoid ads like the plague so the first time I learned about it was in a Reddit thread. I'm American but I never felt less American my whole life. I had no idea what Geico was and why it/they had a mascot. Somebody called it the "Geico lizard" which outraged some Redditors who corrected the OP by telling them repeatedly it was a gecko. When I googled - I had a good laugh. My guess was that it was anime related or maybe something related to a band maybe? I'll never understand how passionate Americans can be about a marketing tool.
I had Geico insure my CT on March then this month they just increase 200$/month premium so i switched to Tesla
I know all insurance companies want to save money but i feel that a Tesla operated insurance has more incentives to save money and falsely conclude that defects and damages arent Tesla’s fault.
I need to google other sayings that basically mean "they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed". I've worn that one out when it comes to the Cybertruck. I'm sort of in awe at how stupid, clueless, and naïve they are.
