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.”

Ahhh, that’s a reason that makes sense. Much better than the article itself. Thanks.

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.
