Making/buying a cargo net would've worked. Bag the ends and tie it to (the meager)cargo loops inside.

I looked the the bed up to see what it came with. Looks like 4 attachment points, which is lame. If I were designing a truck, the bed would be loaded with tiedowns.

Or just get it delivered. We have the technology to put larger items on trailers.

Or simply strap down your load so it doesn't fall off. This applies to a 10k truck as well as a 150k truck. It's not rocket science.

Between the non actual car/truck fans and liberal elon hating conspiracy theorist car magazines and publications, actual CT owners forums and groups (probably just all elon hating plants), any so-called journalism covering CT recalls and issues (whether print or online), now we have Geico joining this group of Elon hating loons. No more CT insurance from Geico, the car does not meet its standards for underwriting. WHEN WILL THE LEFT WING ELON HATING CONSPIRACY THEORY ENTITIES SUCH AS ALL OF THE ABOVE BE STOPPED!


@bbhaag - please, do you have any idea when this nonsense fake news bullshit from people that are not real car enthusiasts who know anything about cars be stopped. PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED!

Good to know that turned out to be false. The idea of insurance companies just deciding to drop coverage on specific vehicles after a policy was already agreed to is a dangerous precedent.

It's absolutely not dangerous at all, as long as it's done due to reasonable financial limitations of the vehicle. This isn't health care, or a house. It's not a work vehicle or anything remotely necessary it's a complete luxury toy . Get a fucking clue.

Why? It's part of their underwriting to maintain good insurance standards. They can either drop you or make your insurance costs explode to get you to cancel.

If you don't like the deal, maybe buy a different vehicle or find another insurance company.

It would be one thing to just refuse coverage at first when you go to insure it, but agreeing to it, and then turning around and dropping it would be a super shitty thing to do. Normally when you make a deal, you uphold it, it's just the right thing to do.

Pretty sure the claim was they would no longer underwrite CT policies, not that they would cancel bound ones.

You typically buy auto insurance in 6-month or 1-year intervals. If they choose not to renew your policy because they changed their underwriting policies or actuarial tables showed that a CT is a bad idea to cover, it seems like tough cookies for you. And as @sdifox pointed out, it sounded like they would no longer write new policies, not cancel existing ones currently in effect.

You're also always free to post a bond and self-insure. If you can afford a CT, that might not be a thing that is too far out of reach.

The CT dominated US sales again for Q3 for EV trucks. Does the competition just suck that much?

In the third quarter, Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the U.S., giving it almost 50% market share of EV trucks. Its competition includes the Chevy Silverado, GMC’s Hummer and Denali, Rivian Automotive R1T, and Ford F-150 Lightning.

Turns Out, Tesla’s Cybertruck Is a Hit

One question I have is if Cybertruck has cannibalized Model S/X sales and if so by how much.

Yeah but to be fair that isn't exactly exclusive to the CT.

IDK, it's not that the competition sucks. The Lighting and R1T are amazing vehicles in their own right. I don't really consider the Hummer a truck and the Silverado is fairly new so I think the consensus is still out on it but the range is suppose to be amazing.

I'm not sure what it is.....maybe it is just as simple as the way it looks and the hype around it?
