Looks like Gieco is cancelling all Cybertruck insurance

[Sld1959]

Have not heard of a reason but looks like one company is no longer insuring them.

GEICO is Terminating Insurance Coverage of Tesla Cybertrucks, Says “This Type of Vehicle Doesn't Meet Our Underwriting Guidelines”

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.”

see them once in a while around here - mostly they make people laugh and they ignore them, not likely the fawning worshipful praise the owners anticipated.

From what I was reading they are tough on other vehicles in accidents, the steel is very thick and tough. However the tongue max weight is supposedly ridiculously low. And they like to lock you out for long periods, something called bricking

well you typically charge them at home, takes only around a paltry 17 hours - blindingly fast compared to me filling my truck tank in the excruciatingly slow 7 minutes or so. Tesla wins this one.

The Tesla Cybertruck is already creating buzz, but despite the alien look, there are concerns. Namely, how long does it take to charge a Tesla Cybertruck?

I figured the guy who buys one of them to get a truck probably spends that much time charging their butterfly vibrators.

Probably because of the raccoons. They tear them up trying to get in. They think they’re dumpsters.

It depends on what charger you install and the amperage to the service.

indeed and per the article -
Here is a breakdown of how much time a Tesla Cybertruck would need at various charging stations - ( 0% to 100%).

• Super Charging Station - 1.13 hours - 1 hour and 8 minutes
• Public Charging Station - 9.09 hours - 9 hours and 5 minutes
• Home Charging Station - 17.39 hours - 17 hours and 23 minutes

so home charging typically will be 12-17 hours as no person will be installing a supercharging station or very likely not a public one either due the home insurance limitations. Also to be fair nobody starts from zero as the chart shows - probably 30-50% left usually so maybe 6-10 hours. The point of refueling in minutes vs hours can not be refuted.

What concerns me is that you sound like you have first hand……
“No pun intended”
Experience in charging that.

I have no idea what the hell it is.

Insurance companies are certainly being talked about in social media, in multiple forums discussing RV’s Progressive Insurance is being accused of denying multiple claims on RV policies.
This coming from an insurance company that touts itself as being the best company for recreational vehicle policies.
