Tesla again threatens to sue Cybertruck buyers who try to resell the cars
Clause deleted from public version of terms is in the contract sent to buyers.
Hard to feel sorry for anyone actively putting money in Tesla/Musk's pocket @ this point
Why doesn't a Tesla smell like a new car? Because it has an Elon musk. (From dad joke lemmy a couple days ago)
And you can also smell that musky smell on Twitter and decide to go to a Federated network instead like Mastodon.
how is this even legal? I don't think this would ever fly in europe.
I think they can’t even sell the cyber truck in Europe
They absolutely can't. This pedestrian murder machine will never be legal in Europe.
thank fucking god.
Ofc it wouldn't. It's very illegal, but Tesla knows this. They're using it as a threat to control what the buyers should do.
And also, you have rights in the EU. You can't sue people as a multi mega corp for nothing.
You can't sue people for nothing in the US either. They have a few laws. - You're allowed to try but it'll get kicked out of court.
It's all bark and no bite, if anyone actually tried it they wouldn't be able to do anything. As long as the price is paid off Tesla don't own the vehicle so they have no rights over it.
Is there a time clause? If so, preventing resale within a month or two could help more minimize scalping.
Yes, that’s exactly their goal, except I believe it was one year
Man, stop linking to twitx
Shitter
That is absolute gold right there
I’m pretty sure that’s a RWD CyberTruck, which would explain a lot. That said, I fucking hate this car and Elon can suck it.
Edit:
Maybe it is AWD. Seems like the power is applied with more to rear than front.
Imagine getting a RWD and treating it like an AWD because you are a dumbass
Imagine getting a
RWDanything that has anything to do with Phoney Starkand treating it like an AWDbecause you are a dumbassIf you watch the video you'll see both the front and rear wheels are spinning.
This guy needs snow tires. You should also put snow tires for this condition even if it’s AWD, right ? Maybe even chains for an off-road slope?
after submitting a $122,135 order
The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee.
Tesla doesn't have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels
You have to pay $350 to get the privilege to fork over a hundred and twenty grand? My jaw literally dropped.
Car culture is weird
This feels a little more, I don't know, direct than car culture mentality. Buying a Telsa, at least in past few years, feels like direct support to one person. I don't see people with expensive sportscars and assume they think the CEO of the manufacturer is a hero. Telsa buyers probably don't feel that way, but stuff like this leads me to believe they do.
Yes and an overwhelming amount of people love doing it.
Anybody buying one of these clown cars deserves all the bad that comes with it.
Are you able to return it if you dislike, or are you just fucked?
Yeah but it's not gay cause it's a robot.
Plus there’sa panel gap for any sized wang.
If I remember correctly, you must let Tesla buy it back rather than reselling.
If this is true, and people stupidly signed a contract stating as such, I have zero sympathy for them if they get sued. What a ridiculous stipulation.
The whole Tesla truck thing really reminds me of the DMC DeLorean fiasco. Is musk imitating John DeLorean? He's falling about as fast. Both are silver and look weird.
The DeLorean looks awesome. You take that back.
Yes take it back… to the future!
I’ll see myself out.
That's what I was thinking. If Elon throws a lot of money at advertising he might sell some.
Tesla is hot garbage. This “truck” is proof.
Just throw this shit up on Rocket League and end the line already. I think I already have those wheels.
Nah. I'm not going to waste $20 on a dlc car. Fuck epic.
Its 30 actually, and it comes with the lame wheels and a puke themed rocket booster.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tesla has revived a contract clause that says the electric carmaker could sue Cybertruck buyers for $50,000 or more if they resell during their first year of ownership.
As we reported a month ago, the Cybertruck-only clause was added to the public version of Tesla's Motor Vehicle Order Agreement Terms & Conditions and then deleted after the lawsuit threat attracted some attention.
The clause says Cybertruck buyers must offer the car back to Tesla at a reduced price before any attempt to resell the vehicle within one year of delivery.
"You agree that in the event you breach this provision, or Tesla has reasonable belief that you are about to breach this provision, Tesla may seek injunctive relief to prevent the transfer of title of the Vehicle or demand liquidated damages from you in the amount of $50,000 or the value received as consideration for the sale or transfer, whichever is greater.
People who made early Cybertruck reservations received their invitations to order the limited-availability Foundation Series edition on Friday.
As an Electrek article notes, it's unclear whether the clause applies only to the Foundation Series version of the Cybertruck.
The original article contains 545 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
So, offer the car back to Tesla at 1 cent under purchase price, then sell to whoever you like if they refuse to buy it...
I really do not care - Musk and Cybertruck are way overrepresented here
I can't wait to see one of these dumpster fires on the street. I need a good laugh!
Why do they hate freedom of speech and expression so much?
He backed off exactly enough for a couple consumers to notice he backed off and talk about it to a few people.
Then went right back to it and nobody cared, because that's the social media news cycle.
