    The best part is, it is not like there are any good people caught up in this. Literally everyone who bought a cybertruck sucks. Some hardworking mom working two jobs didn’t end up with one of these accidentally , it’s literally all the worst most toxic people who were using it for their own grift.

      fuck Tesla but it sickens me how the letter says “we won’t cover this because it’s in our ‘ineligible list’”, that’s not a reason. I’d hate if they did this to me inexplicably

      It’s quite explicable for Tesla though

      I’m calling this right now: Trump and the GOP are going to pass a law guaranteeing the government will underwrite insurance policies for all Teslas, just like they do with national flood insurance.

        On the one hand yeah obvious corruption

        On the other, though, insurance companies are forced to pay out on these, which lol fuck the companies but they’ll use it as an excuse to raise rates.

        :(

    Ha! Can’t insure it, can’t drive it on public roads. That’s even better than jacked up rates.

    The absolute sewage processing plant fire that is this monstrosity set aside, you gotta love the lack of a real reason. “Your car doesn’t qualify for coverage because it’s out list of ineligible vehicles.”

    Coulda just up and said, “your ‘vehicle’ is a Nazi-built death trap. We don’t insure those.”

      They definitely don’t care about that first reason, and I’m not sure the second is measurably that much worse than other cars.

      What they definitely do care about, though, is that it’s prone to being vandalized and incredibly expensive to repair.

      Created in a type-matrix printer. Probably because the insurance company’s deal with the post office was closed in the 1980s, and the letter-making equipment is the same since then.

      Because apart from banks and governments, insurance companies have the most technical neglect possible.

    Well, maybe those Teslas can be used to transport eggs or something.
