Lord only knows how underwriters think. But, they should understand that the only real insurance underwriters in the world are at Lloyds of London.?ÿ

The info in this link is a bit dated, but it tells the story well. If I buy a Tesla. and its value behaves as we're accustomed to in automobiles, then over 10 years or so, the value is going to drop something like 75%. If I pick a good syndicate in Lloyds, my money could double ever 3-5 years, or it could evaporate in one really bad year.

Its way, way out of my league financially and risk-avoidance wise, but it's a fascinating business where?ÿ unknown probabilities bump against huge liabilities in the underwriter's mind to produce a premium that produces a profit. He knows he's going to have claims; he "just" has to charge enough to cover them and have a substantial amount left over. Hubris won't cut it.

Talk about needing tailored pants to accommodate oversized gonads ....
