The one downside is: none of that is really true. Nicely, nearly none of it.

GEICO continues to be offering insurance coverage to Cybertruck house owners. “Teslarati reached out to GEICO on Monday morning to confirm that the insurance firm is no longer covering Cybertruck. The insurance company said it still insures Cybertruck for personal and commercial uses,” Joey Klender at Teslarati writes. Protection is obtainable nationwide.

So, what the heck is happening?

However, GEICO said that it would reach out to any customers who might have received this nonrenewal notice, and Cybertruck policies have always been and still remain available.”

Fascinating. For sure, the Cybertruck … is just not regular.

One would assume this might even be the case with the Cybertruck. Nonetheless, once more, as a result of it’s such an uncommon automobile, we’ve got to attend to see how issues progress on this regard, and what which means for insurance coverage protection and prices.

For now, although, no have to panic. Any Cybertruck house owners right here have any more information to share concerning Cybertruck insurance coverage?
