If you buy a Cybertruck, Tesla says you can’t sell it for a year. [without their permission else they could disable it remotely]

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.

    Another step to consumers never owning anything, everything is just rented.

      Cars have always been spiritually a rent thing, even if not explicitly legal so.

      EU legislation is byzantine, but I wouldn’t even a bet a ham sandwich against it being illegal in a huge chunk of the market

    So they can sue you if you resell, but they don’t have to buy it back if they don’t want to. A prime example of anti-competitive behavior in effort to control competition in the secondary market and to manipulate market prices. They aren’t even afraid of anti-trust lawsuits. I’m also guessing they anticipate this product is going to be a failure if they’re willing to take such a risky position.

    The remote disable is new.

    A lot of “collector” cars have similar rules.

    Cybertruck has more in common with a Lamborghini than a Hilux.

      Lambo will blacklist you if you put a decal on there that they don’t like, so Tesla’s not at that level yet.
