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.”

Someone with more than two brain cells could easily look that up and and realize they're talking about a different vehicle before insulting a complete stranger for no reason.

I thought 'expensive to drive' would have given away it wasn't a cybertruck, since the only good part about those things is that it's an EV and probably doesn't cost much to charge. I might not agree with your decision to drive a huge vehicle, but I'm not gonna call anyone an idiot for doing it.

It's also generally good form to not make spelling errors (realise) in a comment calling someone else stupid...

Please tell me the comment about the spelling mistake is some kind of weird humour (sic)

It is mostly tounge in cheek, but they did misspell realize in their comment and later edited it to correct it.

I mean if you're gonna call someone else stupid, but you misspell it you're kinda putting your foot in your own mouth no?
