You'll Be Able To Legally Resell Your Cybertruck, If You Ever Get One
Following a public flogging by the press, Tesla quietly removed the clause from its Vehicle Purchase Agreement that gave it the right to sue any early Cybertruck owner who attempted to resell their motoring monstrosity within the first year of ownership, and potentially forfeit the right to buy future Teslas.
Here’s A Cheap Way To Keep Track Of Your Bike
Tragedy avoided, I guess. It wasn’t only media outlets that were blown away by the resale language, according to Teslarati,
One Teslarati reader responded to the news via email, saying they would cancel their Cybertruck order if the no-resale policy turned out to be true.
“That’s absolutely ridiculous,” wrote the reader. “After I spend a small fortune on a new truck nobody is going to dictate what I can do with it. If that is accurate I will be canceling my order.”
Though the Cybertruck has made headlines and increasing public appearances recently, it’s still vaporware as far as reservation holders are concerned. In true Tesla fashion, the mountain of promises made about the truck have been amended and clarified and ultimately delayed for years now.
With customer deliveries allegedly slated to begin this month, this contract backtrack has doubtlessly made more than a few folks happy as Tesla fanboys are not afraid to spend big bucks to be early adopters. You are now free to flip your Cybertruck at will, and charge insane sums to capitalize on the hopeless Teslaholics.

There have already been a number of foibles in the Cybertruck’s five-year roll out, like when someone paid $400,000 for an early VIN build slot– not including the price of the truck itself, just the build slot. Not to mention the ultimate foible being the Cybertruck’s 2019 unveil coming with a promise of 2021 deliveries, which is now a distant memory as 2024 rapidly approaches with no Cybertruck customer deliveries to report.
Tesla is traditionally non-traditional, but the Cybertruck’s quest for individuality has shot the company in its proverbial foot with radical promises leading to laughable failings like the initial nightmare when the pickup was first unveiled and promptly shattered two of the alleged Tesla Armored Glass windows and dented the dent-resistant body panels.
Despite many peoples’ apprehensions surrounding the radically designed pickup and healthy skepticism of Musk’s outrageous claims, an alleged 2 million reservations are currently held on the Cybertruck.
