Where would insurance stand if someone burns themselves on the bodywork of a car? Or if the reflective nature of a car blinds someone?
So just wondering where car insurance would stand with Vehicles such as the Tesla Cybertruck when it comes to things like parkingnit in the sun, someone brushes against it and it burns them? I've had aook through my PDS, and it seems to be fairly generic and not specific enough to that kind of injury.
I mean, have you ever touch a stainless steel park bench in summer? Or a stainless steel playground slide? Sears you like a steak.
Likewise, got me thinking, it's stainless steel, if you were to polish it like any other car, I have previously polished black cars to an almost mirror finish, but they are still a black car.
If you polish a Cybertruck like you would any other car, it's gonna turn into essentially a mirror or disco ball on wheels being that it's base is stainless steel. Basically like a stainless steel public toilet mirror.
That said, I know a lot of 4x4's now have highly polished stainless steel canopies, and trucks quite often have extensive chrome work. But that's broken up by other colours, it's not huge expanses of flat mirror chrome.
If you were to park a Cybertruck in the sun and one of its panels is dazzling traffic, where would you stand?
According to Tesla, they're coming, and although their weight makes them an NB Category vehicle (GVM 4,545kg), I still reckon they're gonna sell a lot of them, I bet people will upgrade licences to buy one.
So it brings up some thoughts on what people will do, which would be "park them outside, and maybe polish them up"
