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.

Tesla is making it harder and harder to dare buy an electric vehicle.

They just keep giving me more and more reasons not to buy a vehicle from Tesla.

Shit and they still haven't fixed that low-LoD bug yet?

So you don't own the thing you brought, you're going to be the biggest mug buying this

I suppose only US buyers can be gutted that way

But if you resell it to some chump for enough money then that is just Tesla taking their cut of the resale.

Good. I don't want that piece of crap.

Good grief, I have Hyundai Ioniq 5 and feels like it is better although my Ioniq is far cheaper than Tesla.

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.

Considering the state the world is in, I'm at a point where news like this leave me totally indifferent. I used to feel concerned about privacy and freedom of choice when it comes to consumer goods but right now, with this company? I couldn't give less of a shit.

If you are rich enough to buy one of these abominations, you are rich enough to put pressure on the manufacturer to tell them you are not ok with this (if in fact that is the case).

They should let people sell at a loss if they want to, but otherwise I see no problem with this.

Edit: I guess it would be easy to fake the amount paid for the vehicle if they allowed selling to anyone.
