Tesla again threatens to sue Cybertruck buyers who try to resell the cars
Clause deleted from public version of terms is in the contract sent to buyers.
Hard to feel sorry for anyone actively putting money in Tesla/Musk's pocket @ this point
I still don't get why people buy Tesla products. You know what they're like now. What are you doing?
As a Swede who don't really care about cars (wouldn't own one if it wasn't necessary for where I live and what I do for work), and hadn't kept up with Musk, or Tesla overall, I simply just test drove electric vehicles until I found one that fit my needs, and that was the model 3. This was a few years ago, and I will never buy a Tesla again.
I actually still like the car, but I feel embarrassed driving it around now that I know more about the company and Musk...
Not in a financial position to change car atm, but if I was, I'd definitely go for an Ioniq 6 this time around.
Personally, I'd never buy a Tesla because of how much of a pain they are to get repaired. Have to go to their service centers. You can't just go to some local repair place.
The nearest local center to me is about a 2-hour drive away. So firstly the car needs to function enough to actually get to the repair center, and then secondly I'm stuck there until they fix the car or I get a pickup to come home. Meanwhile, practically every other car I can just take to a local place and walk back home in 10 minutes.
Also wasn't there also a contravorcy about how their heaters didn't work in cold weather.
Weird ad campaign, but OK.
after submitting a $122,135 order
The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee.
Tesla doesn't have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels
You have to pay $350 to get the privilege to fork over a hundred and twenty grand? My jaw literally dropped.
Yes and an overwhelming amount of people love doing it.
Tesla is hot garbage. This “truck” is proof.
Man, stop linking to twitx
That is absolute gold right there
This guy needs snow tires. You should also put snow tires for this condition even if it’s AWD, right ? Maybe even chains for an off-road slope?
I’m pretty sure that’s a RWD CyberTruck, which would explain a lot. That said, I fucking hate this car and Elon can suck it.
Edit:
Maybe it is AWD. Seems like the power is applied with more to rear than front.
Imagine getting a RWD and treating it like an AWD because you are a dumbass
If you watch the video you'll see both the front and rear wheels are spinning.
Are you able to return it if you dislike, or are you just fucked?
If I remember correctly, you must let Tesla buy it back rather than reselling.
If this is true, and people stupidly signed a contract stating as such, I have zero sympathy for them if they get sued. What a ridiculous stipulation.
Yeah but it's not gay cause it's a robot.
Plus there’sa panel gap for any sized wang.
“You won’t own anything, and you’ll like it.”
The whole Tesla truck thing really reminds me of the DMC DeLorean fiasco. Is musk imitating John DeLorean? He's falling about as fast. Both are silver and look weird.
The DeLorean looks awesome. You take that back.
Yes take it back… to the future!
I’ll see myself out.
That's what I was thinking. If Elon throws a lot of money at advertising he might sell some.
Just throw this shit up on Rocket League and end the line already. I think I already have those wheels.
Nah. I'm not going to waste $20 on a dlc car. Fuck epic.
Its 30 actually, and it comes with the lame wheels and a puke themed rocket booster.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tesla has revived a contract clause that says the electric carmaker could sue Cybertruck buyers for $50,000 or more if they resell during their first year of ownership.
As we reported a month ago, the Cybertruck-only clause was added to the public version of Tesla's Motor Vehicle Order Agreement Terms & Conditions and then deleted after the lawsuit threat attracted some attention.
The clause says Cybertruck buyers must offer the car back to Tesla at a reduced price before any attempt to resell the vehicle within one year of delivery.
"You agree that in the event you breach this provision, or Tesla has reasonable belief that you are about to breach this provision, Tesla may seek injunctive relief to prevent the transfer of title of the Vehicle or demand liquidated damages from you in the amount of $50,000 or the value received as consideration for the sale or transfer, whichever is greater.
People who made early Cybertruck reservations received their invitations to order the limited-availability Foundation Series edition on Friday.
As an Electrek article notes, it's unclear whether the clause applies only to the Foundation Series version of the Cybertruck.
The original article contains 545 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
So, offer the car back to Tesla at 1 cent under purchase price, then sell to whoever you like if they refuse to buy it...
I really do not care - Musk and Cybertruck are way overrepresented here
Why do they hate freedom of speech and expression so much?
I can't wait to see one of these dumpster fires on the street. I need a good laugh!
He backed off exactly enough for a couple consumers to notice he backed off and talk about it to a few people.
Then went right back to it and nobody cared, because that's the social media news cycle.
how is this even legal? I don't think this would ever fly in europe.
I think they can’t even sell the cyber truck in Europe
They absolutely can't. This pedestrian murder machine will never be legal in Europe.
