I still don't get why people buy Tesla products. You know what they're like now. What are you doing?
Weird ad campaign, but OK.
Why doesn't a Tesla smell like a new car? Because it has an Elon musk. (From dad joke lemmy a couple days ago)

how is this even legal? I don't think this would ever fly in europe.
I think they can’t even sell the cyber truck in Europe
They absolutely can't. This pedestrian murder machine will never be legal in Europe.
thank fucking god.
Ofc it wouldn't. It's very illegal, but Tesla knows this. They're using it as a threat to control what the buyers should do.
And also, you have rights in the EU. You can't sue people as a multi mega corp for nothing.

It's legal if it's in the sales contract. Usually there is a timeframe.
You should look into Ferrari and their rules. They are even crazier than Tesla for things like this.

after submitting a $122,135 order
The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee.
Tesla doesn't have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels
You have to pay $350 to get the privilege to fork over a hundred and twenty grand? My jaw literally dropped.
Car culture is weird
Tesla culture* Normal car enthusiasts aren't like this
Honestly Tesla culture reminds me of any brand of car fanboyism. The ones I got most familiar with was the supposed "hot rodders" that viewed a junked out piece of rust that's sat in a field 20 years worth thousands of dollars to spend thousands of dollars to not drive it. Got sick of it as someone who's first car was a 70s one and attempting to find parts and pieces was people telling a high schooler to just take it to a shop and spend more than I've spent on my current modern car+motorcycle because none of them actually bothered working on their shit before.
Now I said that, there's also the motorcycle culture, and we're weird as fuck.

That is absolute gold right there
This guy needs snow tires. You should also put snow tires for this condition even if it’s AWD, right ? Maybe even chains for an off-road slope?

Anybody buying one of these clown cars deserves all the bad that comes with it.
Are you able to return it if you dislike, or are you just fucked?
If I remember correctly, you must let Tesla buy it back rather than reselling.
If this is true, and people stupidly signed a contract stating as such, I have zero sympathy for them if they get sued. What a ridiculous stipulation.
Tesla is hot garbage. This “truck” is proof.
The whole Tesla truck thing really reminds me of the DMC DeLorean fiasco. Is musk imitating John DeLorean? He's falling about as fast. Both are silver and look weird.
Wait a minute, doc, you're telling me you built a TIME MACHINE... out of a Cybertruck?
Worst reboot ever, instead of randomly shutting off during crucial scenes it randomly takes over controls and runs over Red. "Crazy drunk AI"

That's what I was thinking. If Elon throws a lot of money at advertising he might sell some.
“You won’t own anything, and you’ll like it.”
Just throw this shit up on Rocket League and end the line already. I think I already have those wheels.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tesla has revived a contract clause that says the electric carmaker could sue Cybertruck buyers for $50,000 or more if they resell during their first year of ownership.
As we reported a month ago, the Cybertruck-only clause was added to the public version of Tesla's Motor Vehicle Order Agreement Terms & Conditions and then deleted after the lawsuit threat attracted some attention.
The clause says Cybertruck buyers must offer the car back to Tesla at a reduced price before any attempt to resell the vehicle within one year of delivery.
"You agree that in the event you breach this provision, or Tesla has reasonable belief that you are about to breach this provision, Tesla may seek injunctive relief to prevent the transfer of title of the Vehicle or demand liquidated damages from you in the amount of $50,000 or the value received as consideration for the sale or transfer, whichever is greater.
People who made early Cybertruck reservations received their invitations to order the limited-availability Foundation Series edition on Friday.
As an Electrek article notes, it's unclear whether the clause applies only to the Foundation Series version of the Cybertruck.
The original article contains 545 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I really do not care - Musk and Cybertruck are way overrepresented here
Why do they hate freedom of speech and expression so much?
I can't wait to see one of these dumpster fires on the street. I need a good laugh!
