To be clear, I don’t know if that’s why GEICO is cancelling policies on Cybertrucks, but I’d bet heavily it’s a contributing factor. It could be that they decided the risk was worth it, until the trucks actually started coming out and the sheer number of recalls due to shitty manufacturing was just too much.
Also, there have been no independent crash tests done so no insurance company can accurately assess the risk, so this is wholly unsurprising.
Tesla have allegedly done their own crash tests, but they still have not released the data. It’s kinda what you’d expect when a government-regulation-hating techbro designs a “I got mine fuck you” vehicle.
He’s like the “Spongebob-as-Quickster” meme:
Wanna see me pump and dump crypto?
…Wanna see me do it again?
Oh wait, RFK Jr must have been off somewhere collecting roadkill.
Nah, he was in court arguing why he should be taken off the ballot in red states while also arguing why he should remain on the ballot in blue states. Cause you know, he’s totally not a spoiler candidate.
Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.
Oh for fuck’s sake, we’re doing Patton conspiracy theories now!? He died from injuries sustained from smashing his head in a car accident, you weird Nazi!
Maybe if all those sinful woke communist homosexuals would leave Florida, God wouldn’t have to keep sending hurricanes to punish all the good God-fearing patriots for tolerating their iniquities! /s
Look, if all those cultures didn’t want the British to safeguard their stuff, they shouldn’t have let themselves be invaded by a technologically superior colonizer who drained them of their resources and enslaved their populations for the glory of a metal hat worn by inbred tea-drinking assholes.
It’s all their fault, really.
And this is exactly how we know they’re lying when they say “Abortion should be left up to the states!”
Also they are fine with dead children; it’s dead fetuses they can’t stand.
You know why so many conservatives are rapists and plague rats?
Because in either case, they don’t care about the consent of the other people involved.
You want to give yourself smallpox or polio? Fucking go for it, bud. Nobody here is gonna stop you. But what you don’t have the right to is participate in activities where you could endanger other people.
So by all means, give yourself tuberculosis. Just stay the fuck away from civilized society when you do.
where does it realistically end
Somewhere at the bottom of that slippery slope, I imagine.
There’s always going to be a threshold where things that previously weren’t problems, become problems. Imagine trying to argue that DUI laws shouldn’t exist because when you have had one beer you’re fine, but once you’ve had 20 beers now the police have a problem with it. How many beers is too many? We don’t know since that’s different for everyone- but we all agree at some point, it’s too many.
You yourself pointed this out: when such weapons weren’t easily available, they weren’t really a problem. Now that they are easily available, they’re a problem.
From a different article:
But DirecTV claims it “will benefit US video consumers by creating a more robust competitive force in a video industry dominated by streaming services owned by large tech companies and programmers.”
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
From another article:
In a statement, DirecTV chief executive Bill Morrow said a merger between the two companies “will be better able to work with programmers to realize our vision for the future of TV, which is to aggregate, curate, and distribute content tailored to customers’ interests, and to be better positioned to realize operating efficiencies while creating value for customers through additional investment.”
Corpo-speak 101: how to use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.
I don’t want to have to drive from McDonalds, OH to Walmart, KY on the I-71 brought to you by Microsoft.
You should have taken the Apple iWay instead of Microsoft’s I-71. The ride is much smoother, as long as you accept you can only exit where Apple says you can. And have the “courage” to hold your pee since they removed all the rest stops on the way.
Seriously kids, don’t vote Republicans if you don’t want every mile of your trip privatized and monetized.
Hey, at least one Nazi did go to prison.
…of course, things went real bad for France not long after that.
Given that SCOTUS is focused on destroying the government one agency at a time, you’re likely to see them rule that the FTC is unconstitutional because it didn’t exist in the 1600s or some other equally-bullshit excuse.
Okay, we won’t.
…wait, you meant Russia!?
Yes, but if they did that, the prisoner wouldn’t suffer!
As best as I can remember, everything in the Steele Dossier has either been verified, or is unverified. Nothing to my knowledge has been proven to be incorrect.
For people who hate the greed of the pharma industry, it’s really amazing to see just how little logic it takes to destroy their arguments:
You know how we know ground-up rhino horn doesn’t cure your dick problems? Because Pfizer or GlaxoSmithKline or Bayer aren’t spending billions on rhino sanctuaries.
¡Este comentario es una puta mierda!
When I said no independent crash tests had been performed, I was specifically referring to the IIHS since they’re the only ones who opinion really matters and they’ve stated they have not tested any Cybertruck. But yes, regardless of whether Tesla’s internal crash tests were performed by their staff or some other testing lab, the fact that they’re sitting on the results clearly indicates that they know just how poorly the crumplezone-less sharp-edged quality-uncontrolled ketaminemobiles fare.
