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.
This is great: I was so frustrated by lack of availability for XBox, from all the scalpers. Same with tickets to pretty much everything. Same with Raspberry Pi. Look at how the eEVs like the Hummer and Lightning were hurt by both dealers and scalpers making vehicles hard to get and excessively priced
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.
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.
Not really, no. From what I read the first shipments are kind of a stunt because they still haven’t worked out their production issues. They are having to do a lot of work on each vehicle by hand. Which means each unit is going to have costs like a Bentley but be expected to sell for the price of a Ford.
Did anyone mention that it looks like a video game car but not from a good game, like one of those racing games that came free with the console in the 90s? If I see one on the side of the road I am going to hear a voice in my head scream “Wipeout! Radical dude!”
I actually felt like the PT Cruiser and the Pontiac Aztek fell well within the “so bad it’s good” category. To be transparent, I’ll also disclose I also like the Volkswagen Thing and I love dune buggies.
PT Cruiser is really low on that list, IMO. The Nissan Cube is a thing. The Pontiac Aztek is a thing (although I have a soft spot for that one in particular). Heck, even the last few model years of Prius were absolutely hideous to look at (The 2023 model year looks like they finally decided to give it a more sleek and sporty look with the front and rear redesign, a welcome change).
So, basically you can rent one of these pieces of shit for a whole year, for free, as long as you cover the gas and mileage fees? Cool cool. I personally wouldn’t take one if you paid me to, but that seems like a good deal for some people who may want to take advantage.
I recently saw my first Tesla Semi and also Tesla Truck in the wild. The semi was pretty cool but the truck looked like a toy or a prop and was smaller than I expected.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This is a good thing!
It will reduce the number of flippers that but the truck just to sell it for more the next day.
ain’t no flippers coming for the cybertruck
You’re joking right? Imagine rolling up to the party in one of these.
You are getting laid that night, probably with multiple people.
Any idiot willing to overpay for that whateverthefuckitis gets what they deserve.
Implying they produce enough to sell any at all, anyone is dumb enough to buy one, anyone if dumb enough to buy it off another dummy who bought one.
This is just Tesla stirring up a story, and trying to make it seem like anyone wants one of these monstrosities, and that they can make them.

and any damages and repairs
On a car that is known is be east to scratch?!
is this even legal ?
Hopefully it gets challenged.
Presumably, as a term of delivery, you’ll sign an agreement not to sell with 50K USD as the liquidated damages. So, yeah probably.

I thought deamau5 git a couple McLarens after that.
So this thing is really happening huh?

I really think this is a Potemkin delivery.

I cannot wait to point and laugh like Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons every time I see one of these fugly pieces of shit on the road.
It’s contending against the PT cruiser for dumbest looking vehicle on the road.

It is bizarre how much of a comic book villain Musk has turned in to.
Good. I don’t want that piece of crap.
I suppose only US buyers can be gutted that way
