Cybertruck Resale: Tesla Follows Through on Its Threats

Tesla had warned: prohibition for a customer to resell their Cybertruck without approval. The resellers are multiplying…
The challenge is impressive. The first customers delivered a Tesla Cybertruck are parting with it without informing the Californian manufacturer. Some paid over $120,000 and believe they can do whatever they want with their money.
Tesla, on the other hand, wants to prevent speculation that could skyrocket second-hand prices and had therefore planned a clause: a $50,000 fine and legal action for non-compliance. The problem is that a rebellious spirit does not comply with this frankly stupid injunction. Worse still: there is no speculation on the Cybertruck because the hype quickly died down. In US media, the restyled Model 3 has taken over. Even Elon Musk spoke of a lack of priority on Tesla’s agenda with the launch of the Cybertruck…
What are the sanctions?
Therefore, Tesla contemplates before taking action on its threats. The Californian manufacturer sees the hundreds of ads on resale sites but does not act for now. Conversely, when it manages to expose resellers, it cancels their other Cybertruck reservations and sends a message specifying that it will not refund the $100 deposit at the time of booking.
For now, sanctions do not go much further. Tesla also states that the customer in question will no longer be able to order its cars in the future. That should give them a nice boost…
The other question: why does Tesla allow the same customer to order multiple Cybertrucks? They must suspect that it is not for personal use. So, it’s the tale of the unwatered gardener!
