Pretty sure they were one of the last major companies that would...
Even if warranty pays for repairs to it, if it damages anything else the insurance still has to pay.
The article mentions multiple examples of them just randomly shutting down during operation. That's already bad. But this is going to be it's first winter, it's not surprising insurers don't want to deal with it. They deal with large numbers, it's not a question of "if" like an individual owner, its "when" for the insurer
Which is really strange considering they don't pay anything for that...?
They do when it shuts down while driving and careens into another vehicle.
I assume you have a source for this collision?
No one is saying it's actually happened. It is a fact though that they are shutting down while driving which introduces a higher risk of it happening which the insurance companies don't want to take.
That's my point. Unless it's actually happened, you're completely blowing things out of proportion, and most likely does not explain this situation.
This isnt the first vehicle to ever break down on the highway...
I can steer to the shoulder of the road in a traditional vehicle hit the brakes. Can I do that in a cyber truck?
Yes.
