OK, so what was the recourse if you DID sell it w/i the first year? Get visited by the Tesla black shirts?

Elon is the dumbest smart person around...Kinda like Steve Jobs was...

Elon’s smarts and academic credentials are highly exaggerated. Not joking. He has claimed to have degrees that he does not have etc.

Gee, what a surprise..

He may be an idiot savant.

As for your selling question. They can essentially make the vehicle unusable to the next owner. They control the software that runs the vehicle and they can do it all remotely.

Tesla has removed the resale restriction clause from the Cybertruck sales agreement. Owners who flipped their Cybertruck without offering Tesla a buyback faced a potential $50k fine. The electric automaker doesn't appear to have actually fined anyone who did flip their truck.

I saw 5-6 different Cyberchunks in Seattle last week, ranging from the stock finish to bowling ball gloss black and this thing…

'83 GTI was the most fun car i ever had. I still miss it.

I just saw a Cybertruck parked while I was out walking the dog this mornign. Just about the ugliest automobile I’ve ever seen. It looks like the laziest design possible; take flat sheets of steel and just fold. No rounded curves or even attempts at interesting body lines.

I saw one yesterday as I started my ride - turned left onto the road I was on (heading the opposite direction). I just started laughing when I saw it. Hey - beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

Scary and 'telling' none-the-less..

I went from not seeing any to seeing one every week-
They have landed.

I saw a meme the other day that the cyber truck is now called the Deplorian.

That’s pretty good actually. It may well go down in automotive history as the DeLorean of this generation. The difference is that Tesla actually appears to be a semi-successful business, unlike DeLorean.

can we talk about the windshield wiper?

what a crappy design that looks like.
