Good. I don't want that piece of crap.
This is odd for us but Ferrari has similar contracts.
People may remember how Deadmau5 had to give up on his "Purrari". He was threatened with a lawsuit by Ferrari who was unhappy with his Nyan cat livery and colors. And this is not a one-off, Ferrari won't let you paint it in non-Ferrari colors and I believe they have restrictions on who you resell it to.
Deadmau5 replaced the car with a Japanese sports car that was happy for the marketing opportunity.
and any damages and repairs
On a car that is known is be east to scratch?!
Makes me wanna buy one just to fucking destroy it put it in the fucking crusher and strap dynamite to it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tesla added a section titled "For Cybertruck Only" to its Motor Vehicle Order Agreement, which laid out the new rules.
But if a customer has a good reason to sell their Cybertruck, Tesla may agree to buy it back at the original price minus "$0.25/mile driven, reasonable wear and tear, and the cost to repair the Vehicle to Tesla's Used Vehicle Cosmetic and Mechanical Standards."
The Full Self-Driving feature, which costs up to $199 per month, is not transferable to a new owner, Fast Company reported.
First announced in 2019, the Cybertruck is Tesla's first new product in years, and it is expected to shake up the electric pickup-truck market.
Tesla originally said the price of the truck would start at $39,900, but it's likely to be much more expensive due to pricey building materials.
Elon Musk said in an earnings call earlier this year that it would take a year to 18 months before the EV truck can become a significant cash-flow contributor, adding that he hoped production of the Cybertruck would reach a quarter of a million annually by 2025.
The original article contains 331 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 45%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
They should let people sell at a loss if they want to, but otherwise I see no problem with this.
Edit: I guess it would be easy to fake the amount paid for the vehicle if they allowed selling to anyone.
Considering the state the world is in, I'm at a point where news like this leave me totally indifferent. I used to feel concerned about privacy and freedom of choice when it comes to consumer goods but right now, with this company? I couldn't give less of a shit.
If you are rich enough to buy one of these abominations, you are rich enough to put pressure on the manufacturer to tell them you are not ok with this (if in fact that is the case).
