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.

I mean, if assholes can buy and flip houses, I should be able to buy and flip my poorly built cyber truck.

It was just up until last year that I dreamt of owning a Tesla. But now with all this shit and musk’s shit I’d be ashamed to own one.

[-] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 17 points 1 year ago

I kinda feel bad for the people who already had one before Musk showed his ass to the whole world. It's like they need to put a disclaimer on a bumper sticker.

Oh he showed his ass long before the Twitter debacle you just had to look beyond the fake Tony Stark persona that had many people entranced

They should just break down, go full camp with it, and make it look like a Warthog from Halo. At least then it would have a gimmicky reason to purchase one.

Wonder how long it will take for body kits to come out for these things.

So you don't own the thing you brought, you're going to be the biggest mug buying this

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

So this thing is really happening huh?

[-] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Not really, no. From what I read the first shipments are kind of a stunt because they still haven’t worked out their production issues. They are having to do a lot of work on each vehicle by hand. Which means each unit is going to have costs like a Bentley but be expected to sell for the price of a Ford.

I really think this is a Potemkin delivery.

Can I set up an LLC and use that company to buy the car? Then, collapse the LLC, and sell the car at a giant markup to whoever’s dumb enough to buy it

So, basically you can rent one of these pieces of shit for a whole year, for free, as long as you cover the gas and mileage fees? Cool cool. I personally wouldn't take one if you paid me to, but that seems like a good deal for some people who may want to take advantage.

They just keep giving me more and more reasons not to buy a vehicle from Tesla.

[-] profdc9@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Tesla is making it harder and harder to dare buy an electric vehicle.

But if you resell it to some chump for enough money then that is just Tesla taking their cut of the resale.

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 12 points 1 year ago

Shit and they still haven't fixed that low-LoD bug yet?

[-] stown@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I recently saw my first Tesla Semi and also Tesla Truck in the wild. The semi was pretty cool but the truck looked like a toy or a prop and was smaller than I expected.
