Tesla Changes the Rules Again for Acquiring the Cybertruck

After the ban on reselling its Cybertruck without Tesla’s permission, the American company adds a new rule to the purchase process.

It makes one wonder who fuels more speculation about the Cybertruck: Tesla or its customers. Tesla defends itself by saying it makes decisions that benefit its buyers… although at the same time, everything suggests the opposite. Interpretations vary widely.

Several weeks ago, Tesla introduced a clause into the purchase agreement of the Cybertruck stating that a customer could not resell their vehicle before one year or only with approval. At the same time, Tesla has priority to buy back the vehicle at a price specified in the contract, but based on very abstract judgments (vehicle condition, etc.). As a result, the manufacturer could resell a vehicle twice, even after having produced it and knowing its exact value.

Then, instead of delivering vehicles to customers in the order of reservation, Tesla changed its priorities and launched a so-called “Foundation Series” priced $20,000 higher than the catalog price. All this to bypass the waiting list. There was thus no point in patiently waiting for three years… Some customers are furious and are calling on Tesla to honor its promises.

To reduce delays, Tesla has just made another incredible decision: banning a single customer from purchasing multiple Cybertrucks. Or how to annoy everyone with a product that could, very quickly, fall back into obscurity.
