Fuck Elon Musk (Part 2)

The new rear-wheel drive Cybertruck starts at $60,990 on Tesla’s website, the all-wheel drive model at $79,990, and the Cyberbeast model is priced at $99,990 — all with 2025 availability or delivery dates.

Used prices are all over the map with some resellers asking up to $180,000. But most prices fall into the $120,000 - $160,000 range. The upside is you get a Cybertruck immediately and don’t have to wait in line.

Upside?

Wasn’t there something in the contract about not reselling for at least a year, or was that removed?

Tesla Cybertruck’s $50,000 No-Resale Clause Returns
Buyers are not allowed to sell their Cybertruck within the first year of ownership without Tesla’s written permission.

Anybody with a Xitter account want to bring these to Musk’s attention? The fallout could be a lot of fun.

I mean, they can write that into the contract. But no way that’s legally enforceable, right?

Even if the “no sale” clause was legally enforceable it seems like it would just be an even bigger PR nightmare for Tesla if they actually followed through on enforcing it.

Which would bode worse for the company’s reputation: “Cybertruck owners are selling their vehicles to other Tesla enthusiasts months after purchase,” or “Disillusioned cybertruck buyers sued by Tesla for trying to unload their lemons”?

Good thing Elmo’s PR department would stop him from making that gaffe. /s

He’s probably already freaking out that Lemon Laws could possible apply to him, and preparing to launch another “the government is unconstitutional” lawsuit. (I’d say kooksuit, but there are at least three justices who’d probably sign off on that.)

But how many will be willing to return, having seen how easily they could be fired again? I hope they are at least demanding more money.

To be fair “made chiefly of plastic” is a mostly European innovation in making cars cheaply.

But with a frame obvs rather than an exoskeleton that is both too much and too little rigid depending on what it’s not doing right at that particular time.

Plastic (fibreglass) covered by stainless steel panels is a perfectly cromulent solution in car manufacturing. As demonstrated by the DeLorean 40 years ago.

But can a CyberTruck get up to 88 mph, safely?

Looks better that way
