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.”

    Class action lawsuits are gonna be a mother fucker

    Part of the purchase agreement of a Tesla agreeing to binding arbitration. This means no class action suit. You can opt out of this within the first 30 days, but you have to send a letter requesting it.

    How many Tesla owners do you think do that?

      That assumes the court finds that enforceable. Usually they do, but a few times recently, they’ve said it’s not.

        That’s one of the nice things about the law in Quebec. Binding arbitration clauses are illegal.

            *Je does

            “doivent” is third-person plural (they, not I)

            Oh, and I didn’t notice that autocorrect changed my French to English. Should be"dois" or, as you say, “devrais” for the conditional.

        I mean in trumps court of law musk can’t lose.

        If dumpy wins, for sure no class action.

        If dumpy loses, his Supreme Court will still side with the conservative side anyway, so probably still no class action.

      Steam recently removed their arbitration clause, largely because paying for a thousand arbitration cases is worse than dealing with a class action.

        I’ve heard that death by 1,000 arbitrations is a good way to make em regret it. Glad to see it’s true.
