Whatever you think of its windshield wiper, if you are one of the first Cybertruck owners (price still TBA), Tesla intends for you to hang onto your electric truck. Tesla’s order agreement says “You agree that, you will not sell or otherwise attempt to sell the Vehicle within the first year following your Vehicle’s delivery date,” without getting permission. Breaking the deal could result in your truck being remotely deactivated.
Considering how many limited edition vehicles ended up having “market price adjustments” from dealerships, and the number of resellers that direct to consumer items like computer components and video games attracts, this actually feels like a new decent plan for the average consumer. If I had more faith in Tesla I would argue that technically it amounts to a one year return policy, but im sure they would restocking fee the hell out of it, if they realized thats what it was being used for.
