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.
Sorry, I don’t want to buy a car that looks like old Tomb Raider where Lara’s boobs are triangular.
I suppose only US buyers can be gutted that way
Nope, depending how you write the contract, you can do it even in EU, although probably you must write it as the now quite common offers in which you pay something for the first X years as if it was rented and then you can pay the rest or give back the car. Basically a rent with an option to buy the car at the end of the rent at a previously agreed price.
This way you obviously cannot resell the car before the X years passed since it is not legally yours.Yea, you are describing leasing, which is a totally different thing.
If you would try these shenanigans in a regular contract, your company would be a) sued to the ground b) don’t sell one car…
Yea, you are describing leasing, which is a totally different thing.
Legally speaking, no. Leasing and this type of contract (called “long term rent”) are differents things here were I live even if the end result looks very similar.
If you would try these shenanigans in a regular contract, your company would be a) sued to the ground b) don’t sell one car…
a) not sure about that.
b) I would not bet on that.
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.
How can that shit conceivably hold up in court? What’s mine is mine.
I bet someone determined could fight it but it would cost, and take time, and good luck getting your expensive, maintenance-heavy car serviced during and after the whole ordeal.

Oh yeah, I’m by no means advocating to get a Ferrari. 🤣
Those cars are garbage.
I thought deamau5 git a couple McLarens after that.
I can’t wait to make fun of one of these in the wild. What a stupid, ugly vehicle.
They are usually seen grazing together with tech bros
are we doing the jerk off motion? I think it’d be pretty neat if everywhere you drove one of these people did the jerk off motion at you
You need more meaningful things going on in your life.
Hey, now… Don’t go tearing on people’s hobbies!
It’s like he saw a
and was like “Ya that’s what I want, but uglier, and less useful.”
The best solution to this problem is not to buy one in the first place.
So is this thing actually called a “Cybertruck”? Because that sounds like something my 7-year-old would come up with. I hadn’t really given it much thought until now…
I can’t see it without seeing Homer Simpson in that car he designed.
Makes me wanna buy one just to fucking destroy it put it in the fucking crusher and strap dynamite to it.
And send it back directly to Elin?
In small pieces.
“ Given the subscription model of much of the software Tesla EVs use, resale can be complicated. The Full Self-Driving feature, which costs up to $199 per month, is not transferable to a new owner, Fast Company reported.”
Just another reason I’m never buying
$199 per month?! Fuck me that’s moronic.
So you don’t own the thing you brought, you’re going to be the biggest mug buying this
Good grief, I have Hyundai Ioniq 5 and feels like it is better although my Ioniq is far cheaper than Tesla.
Capitalism is so schizophrenic. Is supply and demand in a free market meant to decide the value of goods or not?? If regulations and penalties are required, why not across the board??
Even on my remote island I see plenty of Rivians
This sounds like the kind of thing Ferrari does, that people accept because if you own a Ferrari you’re kinda part of an exclusive club of rich assholes. Teslas are expensive but they’re not “exclusive club” expensive, they’re more like BMWs.
they’re more like BMWs.
Complete with asshole drivers.
damn its ugly af
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.
