A Cybertruck Owner Says He’s Thrilled that Tesla Sold Him a Defective Truck. He adds, “I Can Now Return the Truck to Tesla at Full Price & Buy a Brand-New Cybertruck for $30,000 Less"
A Cybertruck owner is celebrating the fact that Tesla sold him a defective truck. He can now avoid all the depreciation by returning the vehicle to Tesla at full price. However, he’ll be using the money to buy another Cybertruck for $30,000 less.
Tesla: Due to the attacks on our dealerships and stock, we currently only have refurbished cybertrucks to offer. Here is one which has the panels reattached. It's just like it came out of the factory.
Customer: wasn't that mine that I just returned?
Tesla: yeah but this time we used gorilla glue. Please ignore the finger prints and hairs that got stuck to it. We let Elon's kid stick them back on for a photo op. He only got his hand stuck 5 times.
Tesla: alternatively we've got this one going cheap. It only has one swastika painted on the side that we couldn't get off, otherwise it's brand new.
It's a hot deal. Like, no really, someone needs to put out the fire from that Molotov cocktail... Fucking Patriotism throwing our Tesla tea into the bay.
Stories like Reid Tomasko’s - and others who’ve had Tesla buy back their defective Cybertrucks - highlight how the EV ownership journey can take unexpected turns.
I wish they wouldn't conflate these dumpsters with EVs as a whole.
This happened to me with Sennheiser headphones. They broke, and I returned them. They by now had become the old model which was sold out. So they gave me a gift card which allowed me to buy new model for a price lower than my initial purchase. Gotta love those warranty laws.
