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.

Insurance company vs Tesla... Consider me conflicted

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 71 points 1 year ago

It's fine to hate both sides, you don't have to take a side.

the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy but i will cheer for them to get the first kill

  1. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less.

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

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I can root for hope both sides to strike killing blows.

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

[–] towerful@programming.dev 39 points 1 year ago

Can't drive it off-road, either LOL

Haha! Good one

the insurance companies are gonna be sent to salvadoran prisons!

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.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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.

:(

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.”

[–] grue@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

That and the uncertainty of being able to open the doors when a quick exit is needed, say a fire or something. There's a big difference in price tag in total loss vs. loss of life.

[–] koper@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

A big difference for the occupant, not for the insurance company

And the panels flying off and hitting someone else

Nice that they give them a buffer so the battery has a chance to suddenly self ignite.

Why was this typed on a typewriter?

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Not quite the same thing as a dot matrix printer, but thinking about it just made me slightly nostalgic for fanfold paper anyway.

I do miss being able to tear off the perforated pin feed holes

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I fondly remember ripping off the perforated sides (apparently called tractor feeds).

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

From the outside the US is like a Time Machine.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 9 points 1 year ago

Haha its always about profits. :)

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

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Anybody got a list of their banned vehicles?
