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.

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.
