Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year::Tesla may agree to buy the truck back at the original price minus "$0.25/mile driven" and any damages and repairs.

Papa Enzo knows best. Don't understand how that's legal unless it's some sort of lease agreement

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Well, you're welcome to not buy a Ferrari if you don't like the strings attached, right?

[-] Rusky_900@reddthat.com 35 points 1 year ago

Sure. But ownership comes with certain rights by definition. If you don't have those rights, you don't really own the thing. You're just paying to subscribe to their club.

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Right, the club being Ferrari owners. They maintain a specific image of owner, and part of that image is "if you don't like it then go buy another car". I think it's silly too, but for what they cost it's not as if you're bumming for a daily driver at unfavorable APRs.

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Sure. But, again, just don't buy it if you don't like the conditions. Not sure why that's so controversial to say.

[-] irotsoma@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I think because it goes against the concept of ownership that you can't do certain things with it after you buy it. I get that with digital or conceptual things, though I don't agree with that either in many cases. But not being allowed to alter, resell, or repair a physical object you bought can be frustrating.

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It's because they have a brand to protect and that brand belongs to Ferrari, not the owner of the car.

I am also not welcome to buy a Ferrari because

  1. I can't afford one.
  2. if I could afford it, I would buy something sensible and invest most of my cash for the future. (Land, Gold, etc.)
