Yeah, it'd be better just to cease their purchase and let them sit, completely useless. A burnt car gets an insurance payout. What about throwing those giant stickers on the windshield that don't peel off without ripping and leave a ridiculous mess? There was a Russian YouTube channel where people would do that to people driving on sidewalks.

Bonus money and business for car detailers? Lol

I would agree normally, but at a larger scale, it would cost insurance more to replace everything leading to higher rates and possibly refusal of insurance due to the risk associated.

I read that in snowcrash, didn't know it was a real thing.

I thought Teslas (or maybe just the Cyber truck?) wasn't insurable. I thought that was the whole reason Tesla has to offer car insurance, because regular insurers won't cover them.

Yeah, maybe. I didn't know that was a thing, but I believe it
