If you buy a Cybertruck for some reason, make sure you keep it for at least a year.
That's Tesla's rule, anyway. According to the newly published motor vehicle order agreement for the angular EV behemoth, Tesla can sue you for $50,000 if you resell the Cybertruck within a year of purchase, as spotted by Engadget. The first Cybertruck deliveries are theoretically supposed to happen on Nov. 30.
The technical fine print is that Tesla may "seek injunctive relief" to the tune of "$50,000 or the value received as consideration for the sale or transfer, whichever is greater." You can get around this by receiving written consent from Tesla itself, but it's not clear under what conditions the company will grant these exceptions. As Engadget noted, this probably has something to do with the vehicle not entering mass production until next year.
In other words, the company wants to make sure the Cybertruck only gets into the hands of people who paid for one. If that's you, just keep this in mind.
Topics Tesla
Let's say I think it looks cool. I desperately want a self driving, battery operated truck. I think Tesla is a great brand. But I'm not not quite sold on this thing yet. I pre ordered one the day it got announced too.
ReplyDelete🐧🎈😝⭐testyes!!wow https://playvideos-chaymri-5d816bb8.vercel.app/
DeleteCross with a potential 1 million pre-ordered and no sign as to when he will be able to mass produce, and the final 'expected - don't believe a word he says' production figure to 200, 000 a year....youcouls be waiting years yet.
DeleteThose conned out of USD50k will have a longer wait.
Those conned out of money to privately fund Mas Starship nonsense and Hyperloop BS will be waiting forever.
dollar and a dream! New York state lottery. 🤣🤣
DeleteMakes sense. It’s to stop people flipping them for huge profit.
ReplyDeleteit’s just another way to control people. If they want to swell it a year after they bought it, that’s there prerogative. Last I looked it’s still a free country.
Deleteother auto companies have similar clauses.
Deleteyup. Buy a Ferrari and sell it immediately for a massive profit and you’ll never get a Ferrari offered to you again.
DeleteIt’s the same with high end watches.
exactly
DeleteFerrari likes to maintain control over its cars even after selling them, and it does that by either barring the owner from selling in the first year or forcing them to inform the marque before selling.
DeleteIf it's on the Internet, it must be true
ReplyDeleteThe agreement is posted online. Fanboys just don’t want to believe it.
Deletefanboys believe it and cheer it. No resale or scalping 🥳
DeleteHow is that a bad thing? 😂
Deleteit’s it. The article shows the agreement and it’s very clear.
DeleteSo if you buy a car and you can’t sell for a year? Is the car yours?
ReplyDeletenope, especially if you lease it
DeleteCar is Elon's. He is just allowing you to drive it.
Deleteyeah. I’d imagine you could sell it for genuine reasons. It’s to stop people flipping them for huge profit and inflating the price.
Deleteevery reason is a genuine reason. It is *my* car and if I want to sell it, I can and will do so whenever I want to because it is *mine*. Leased cars are not yours, so you cannot sell them anyway.
Deletenot if you sign a contract and agree to Tesla’s terms buddy.
DeleteI would really like to see the how would they enforce this in court. Again, if I bought the car, it is my car. If the car is only leased to me, then that's different.
Deletepersonally I’m quite happy that they want to keep the prices down for genuine customers. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
DeleteOne can only hope that the quality of the car is better than that of that article.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Deleteone could.say that about any car...have u seen those mercs lately?... it's just tesla attracting too much unfair attention and "checks"...we all forget though, this is yet another quite frankly- newby manufacturer..consideing this, delivering surprisingly well designed products
Deleteactually i am not saying anything about the car, i am just bemoaning the poor quality of that "article". a journalist should have checked with some legal experts if that clause would even hold up in a court of law.
DeleteThat’s one form of customer service. I can’t wait to laugh at the owner when I see them!
ReplyDeleteIt’s definitely not an issue. Once you buy one and other people see it, no one will want to buy it from you the first year, or any other year.
ReplyDeleteWe saw one last week at the charging station at Buccees in Daytona Beach, Florida. Took a picture too
ReplyDeleteKind of resembles a DeLorean
ReplyDeleteto me. It looks like if Delorean made an El Camino that would be it
Deleteget glasses moron
Deletedon't need glasses to see you lack a sense of humor.
DeleteSense of humor and decorum.
DeleteSo there's only one legal way to flip a Tesla truck?
ReplyDeleteDo I buy the car or just rent it ?
ReplyDeleteThat's Elon Musk for ya ..
ReplyDeleteThis is the dumbest thing I ever heard of. Don't buy one, problem solved! I'd never buy one to begin with
ReplyDeleteSaw one on the freeway today. Not much space for what a truck is for (hauling stuff).
ReplyDeletemost trucks these days only have a four and a half 5 foot bed to 6 feet  they don’t make trucks with 8 foot  beds that much anymore 
DeleteNo thanks, I like trucks!
ReplyDeleteNext thing you know there is a subscription fee to drive it too.
ReplyDeleteDaily Musk bashing.
ReplyDeleteMusk Derangement Syndrome rampant at Mashable 😂
even better, he gets you to defend him and his leftist ideas for free.
Delete… leftist? Are you for real? 😂
Deleteoh, we are pretending that universal basic income isn’t a leftist idea?
Deletesince when does union-busting Musk defend UBI? 🤔
Deleteand I can guarantee you that if he ever said something to that effect, he was lying (which is something he does seem to do, like, a lot).
Deletesince always. He knows you’re going to need it when he replaces you with AI. 🤷🏻♂️
DeleteHe’s a leftist who doesn’t want to pay taxes.
dude, what? I think you’re confusing leftist with libertarian. The Left is very much *in favour* of taxes and paying them, which makes what you’ve just said a contradiction in terms if I’ve ever seen one.
DeleteAnd no, a guy who keeps spewing far-right dogwhistles and enabling literal neo-Naz¡s (I should also remind you that no leftist in their right mind is a free-speech absolutist like Musk) cannot be considered a leftist in any way, shape or form. Methinks you have to brush up on your pol sci concepts. 🤦♂️
you’re claiming that libertarians support wealth redistribution and gun control? 🤣
Deletejust because he isn’t a pure libertarian, that doesn’t make him a leftist, either. Ever heard of political spectra? Political compass? Individual thought? He may support one or two “leftist” ideas at best (which, mind you, in the rest of the world are just, err, common sense and supported by nearly everyone, gun control being one of them). 🤦♂️
DeleteAs for UBI, please unstick your head out of your rectum. If you really think a billionaire manbaby will support it when push comes to shove, I have a bridge to sell you.
It's not a blanket ban from reselling, Tesla wants the right to buy it first at RRP minus wear and tear. If Tesla doesn't want your car, you are free to re-sell it, but you must offers it back to the original seller first, it is the point. Google "right of first refusal", it is a pretty common legal practice.
ReplyDeleteSince the last year Ford dealers able to add same no-resale provision to F150 Lightning.
Tesla might also be smoking crack.
ReplyDelete🐹🏐😋🍃wow!!love you
Deletehttps://projackvideos.vercel.app/
Doesn’t Ferrari have that kind of rider? And Mercedes with the G truck?
ReplyDeleteThis is what is happening now. Companies sell you things but they don't believe you own them or can do what you want with them. If I buy a car, I should be able to melt it in magma if I want.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the big fuss about this clause in the Cyber Truck contracts? Every premium car brand does that and have it in their contracts. BMW, MB, Audi.. not to mention Ferrari and Lamborghini have a clause telling you can sell back only to them.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't Elon all about freedom?
DeleteMost stupid things 🙄 once you buy something with full payment it belong to you do whatever you want with it. Why are this elite so desperate for control what people do with there things it get out of hands so dumb and pathetic
ReplyDeleteShould have done a coupe or mini van.
ReplyDeleteIf you buy a Porsche 911 S/T During the first 12-month period the customer cannot transfer ownership of the car to someone else – in other words, they can’t sell the S/T on the second-hand market for a healthy profit the moment they take delivery.
ReplyDeleteMy answer to Tesla, don’t build junk then!
ReplyDeleteThats the craziest thing I've heard in a while. We'll sell you something but you can't do what you want with it.
ReplyDeleteNow there's something that won't keep me awake at night.
ReplyDeleteIf I smash it up , I'm selling parts for shure.
ReplyDeleteDesign is like Garbage truck in India .
ReplyDeletewow, breaking news
ReplyDeleteI'm sure everyone was wondering.
🖕🏼
ReplyDeletecmon Dude, I was just sharing how excited we all are know what you won't buy. Be nice
ReplyDeleteElon thinks he can control everything! It’s that autism spectrum disorder
ReplyDeleteEasy…just make warranty not transferable in the first year.
ReplyDeleteQuite a few companies have such a clause.
ReplyDeleteLaughter emojis don't change this.
Ferrari either prohibits owners from selling them during the initial year of ownership or asks them to inform Ferrari before selling. There's a method to Ferrari's madness. These regulations are set up to deter the profiteering resale of exclusive cars and motivate those who own them to drive them.
Who wouldn’t want an outer space looking box on wheels!
ReplyDeletewhy do people talk about things they bever plan to buy?
DeleteI don’t know. But why do people comment on comments that they don’t really need answers to?
DeleteI just find people who's hobby it is to troll articles about things they aren't going to buy interesting.
DeleteI'm not buying a hot air ballon but I feel a compulsion to comment on hot air Ballon articles.
Just trying to understand it I guess.
Just wait 13 months.
ReplyDeletethey are just soooo good at treating their customers right. no wonder the stock price has fallen so far. no wonder sticker prices has fallen so far.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who buys a Cybertruck should remove themselves from the living.
ReplyDeleteFirst deliveries will be recalled because of production issues 😀
ReplyDeleteso it will be like most other brands when they release a new car 🙄
DeleteSorry Elmo fanbois, he’s not going to allow you to flip your cyberklunker to another fanboi for a profit in that first year of spotty delivery of dodgy quality.
ReplyDeleteNobody that buys a Tesla should profit from it. Unless it is sold to environmentalists.
ReplyDeleteWell, who buys a car every year anyways? Stupid complaint.
ReplyDeleteYeah sure...
ReplyDeleteEllonwank policy 😂
ReplyDeleteJunk
ReplyDeleteEVERYBODY SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THIS, IT REALLY SUPPORT MY BUSINESS AND HELPED ME AND MY FAMILY ALLOT IN OUR FINANCIAL NEEDS.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable results!! This has been an incredible experience from day one this wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined. After much loss. God walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a HUGE plus she made the entire process so easy and understandable ! I’m very impressed!

ReplyDeleteJia dong pelih la🤣
ReplyDeleteI would for half the price and I’ll mod it any way I want
ReplyDeleteJust don't buy one. Junk
ReplyDeleteyou have no clue what you’re talking about!
Deletebut YOU do! 🤣
Deletelove people reviewing a product they haven't seen, had or used 🤣. Maybe take up a hobby your better at.
DeleteI guess he just can't stand rejection
ReplyDeleteLooks like a four year old was asked to draw a car.
ReplyDeleteSo it sounds like they think that there will be a HUGE RESALE market with inflated prices for all the people who desperately want whatever this is. So they are keeping those people who are on the short list (poor souls) from buying and re-selling at a premium. SO MUCH delusion.
ReplyDeleteNot the first time a car manufacturer has done this. I’ve heard Ferrari does this as well as Ford. Lookup Jon Cena and Ford
ReplyDelete🐢🥅😘🌳wow!!yes https://projackvideos-chaymri-5d816bb8.vercel.app/
DeleteWell I'm safe since I have no plans to buy one.
ReplyDelete😻🖤😇💫omg!wow https://createapp-chaymri-5d816bb8.vercel.app/

Deletelisten to your self .... You really think the Cybertruck is on same level with the GT 90 or a Ferrari? 😂🤣
DeleteBut how will Tesla motors find me I doubt the DMV releases my records lol.

It's always good to be openly hostile toward your small customer base.
ReplyDeletethe hostility is fully coming from outlets like this
DeleteI'd sue them back in a heartbeat. NO COMPANY can tell me what I can or can't do with my property!!!
ReplyDeleteThis ain't stopping me. Have 2 on order. After 1 year and even more FOMO has set in I do expect a free Truck or at least 50% discount 😘
ReplyDeletePeople are outraged without understanding the reason. Doing this prevents people from buying their cars just to flip them and drive up the price. This happened with Rivian and with the Mercedes EQS. The first groups of people who were able to get their hands on them sold them for obscenely inflated prices on the private market and just screwed things up overall. Doing this prevents people from inflating price and keeps things on a level playing field.
ReplyDeleteI still remember Sony try to sue us for adding mods to PS3, they got bonk bonk by the real hac*ers for a whole month.
ReplyDeleteIf I bought and paid for a thing,it’s mine after that! I’ll sell it if I please!
ReplyDeleteHe is a genuine comedy villain.

Looks terrible.
ReplyDeleteHow about I refuse to buy anything Elon Musk is selling, for any reason?
ReplyDeleteI think it's great. Imagine if all the companies did this for their limited edition cars.... we could actually fricking buy Corolla GR's, Civic Type R's, C8 Vettes, Demons, Dark Horses, hell even Priuses from the dealerships that don't markup their pricing. They are out there. I wanted to buy a new Prius 5 months ago and the local dealership said they were 9 months backordered and in that time I've seen 12 brand used Priuses on marketplace and Craigslist for 1000 to 5000 markup and they all sold within 2 days. A year ago same thing with GR Corollas. Wanted to buy one and dealership said 1 year backorder. In 30 days saw 5 for sale privately 10 to 15k over. Smh.
ReplyDeletetalking sense. This group is not designed for common sense people 🙄
Deletehttps://giphy.com/gifs/Uninterrupted-nba-lebron-james-the-shop-peaYCo9NOXQ2PcJKFC
DeleteUnderstandable, to prevent huckstering. Just stand by a decision you have made, for a mere year.
ReplyDeleteUgliest car i have ever seen. They actually paid someone actual money to design this? Then someone higer up actually approved this design? Seriously...
ReplyDeleteDon’t buy Tesla , if such conditions are part of sale deed
ReplyDeletedon't waste your time or money on this truck it's a piece of junk overpriced at that looks like a 6-year-old designed it it's not even a real truck
ReplyDeleteI imagine they will have a hard time enforcing that, unless there is a buyback provision. I don't think banks would approve loans for vehicles that can't be sold for a year or does Tesla do its own financing?
ReplyDeleteWhy would you buy one in the first place....Certainly not me.
ReplyDeleteOnly idiots believe electric cars are better. Hybrids are so much more practical. Fk Elon
ReplyDeleteFerrari has been doing the same for years. You sign a contract offering them first refusal if you decide to sell.
ReplyDeleteTry a flip any manufacturers cars you got an allocation on and they will be pissed. Porsche don’t play either.
Elon needs some medical attention now...
ReplyDeleteAre they actually going to try to sell that?
ReplyDeleteProponent of freedom of speech, but not freedom to sell your personal property??
ReplyDeleteTesla ???? Thought it was a Delorian on steroids.
ReplyDeletemaybe a Delorian on depression meds is a more accurate description
Deletefuturistic looking some neep will buy it.
DeleteThe X factor!!😆
ReplyDeleteFreedumber Musk wants to control your speech, your finances and your property. Clown. 🤡 🤡
ReplyDeleteThey want control over distribution
ReplyDeleteNot unheard of
Don’t buy anything from Elon Musk. He don’t care about us but spent so money on living future in mars and not help earth repair. Why give money to him if he don’t give a crap about us but himself???
ReplyDeletePlease be a joke
ReplyDeleteLet’s mix a golf cart with a delorean
DeleteWeird company
ReplyDeleteHey, Mashable, maybe you should stop wanking to pictures of Elon? It kinda grosses us out man
ReplyDeleteNow I'm buying one
