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.”

    Do you really just not understand the difference between an analogy and an equivalency?

    Also your assertion about computation and electricity displays your horrible lack of understanding of the concept of redundancies.

    If you have evidence that there was a complete lack of power to any and all systems, please do present it, but I’m very confident that you don’t, so please come off it.

      Yes, I fully understand the difference between analogy and equivalency. You claimed that fly by wire on an aircraft is exactly as safe and redundant as the steering wheel of a Tesla vehicle. That’s called an equivalency and is a demonstrably false statement. I never claimed that there were no redundancies to the power supplies, but it’s simply not relevant. You do understand that there are different regulations and rigors applied to an aircraft compared to a crappy car that hasn’t even passed any crash safety testing and hasn’t been certified by any engineering standards bodies, right?

        I did not. You just pulled that out of your ass. I don’t have time for bad faith arguments. Good night.

          The only good news here is that the regulators in your country aren’t stupid enough to let you operate this machine near your fellow humans.
