Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year::Tesla may agree to buy the truck back at the original price minus “$0.25/mile driven” and any damages and repairs.
So you don’t own the thing you brought, you’re going to be the biggest mug buying this
Tesla is making it harder and harder to dare buy an electric vehicle.
This is odd for us but Ferrari has similar contracts.
People may remember how Deadmau5 had to give up on his “Purrari”. He was threatened with a lawsuit by Ferrari who was unhappy with his Nyan cat livery and colors. And this is not a one-off, Ferrari won’t let you paint it in non-Ferrari colors and I believe they have restrictions on who you resell it to.
Deadmau5 replaced the car with a Japanese sports car that was happy for the marketing opportunity.

Can I set up an LLC and use that company to buy the car? Then, collapse the LLC, and sell the car at a giant markup to whoever’s dumb enough to buy it
While this is an asshole move, companies like Ferrari do stuff like this too. They, for example, do not allow certain modifications on their cars and if they find out that you have done them, they will ask you to restore those parts back to originals. It is unreal how much car companies try to get from us.
Absolute deal-breaker. I will not be dictated to on what I may or may not do with my personal private property, beyond the bounds of the law.
Because otherwise, you would have bought one.
It’s shit behavior that should be illegal, but I also can’t feel bad for any moron that sees this truck and still agrees to buy it.
Is this to be an asshole, or to avoid people reselling the car at x2 the price because of the lack of supply during the first year?
I hate Musk, but if this is intended to prevent price go urging, it might be a good thing (see nvidia scalpers)
I can’t wait to make fun of one of these in the wild. What a stupid, ugly vehicle.
