The Truth Behind Geico's Insurance For Tesla Cybertrucks: A Detailed Analysis

In the rapidly evolving world of electric vehicles, new claims and rumors can spread like wildfire. This has been particularly true for the Tesla Cybertruck, a vehicle that has garnered its fair share of attention since its release. On October 5, 2024, a claim surfaced asserting that Geico, a prominent insurance provider, would no longer insure the Tesla Cybertruck, citing that it did not meet their underwriting guidelines. This assertion quickly gained traction across social media platforms, leading many to question the validity of insurance coverage for this highly anticipated vehicle.

Despite the initial frenzy, we investigated this claim further, seeking clarity from official sources. Interestingly, even though the original post on X was deleted, a screenshot of it made its way onto Reddit's r/CyberStuck subreddit, igniting discussions and further spreading the rumor. As this narrative spread, numerous requests were made to Snopes to confirm whether Geico had indeed stopped insuring the Cybertruck. This article delves deep into the facts surrounding the matter.

Our findings indicate that the claim of Geico discontinuing coverage for the Cybertruck is false. A spokesperson from Geico confirmed via email that they still offer coverage nationwide for the Tesla Cybertruck. However, the vehicle has faced numerous issues since its launch, including reliability concerns that have led to multiple recalls. These factors combined have contributed to confusion among potential policyholders, particularly those who have struggled to find suitable insurance for their vehicles.
