Are people really selling their Cybertrucks for $200k+ or is that all hype and are there ramifications?

I was wondering, if you need to offer Tesla first refusal what is stopping you from asking them for an extremely high price? Does the resale clause specify a buyback price?

Tesla will buy back less miles and wear and tear. If one thinks they can sell for more. Go ahead. Tesla will likely tell you to take it, and then send them a check for the difference. I don't think Tesla is going to offer you an above market price. I think I would laugh at one if I was the rep handling the situation. Actually I would send it to legal and say the person is an ass.

It does specify a buyback price, and per usual it's basically whatever they feel like offering.

" you agree to notify Tesla in writing and give Tesla reasonable time to purchase the Vehicle from you at its sole discretion and at the purchase price listed on your Final Price Sheet less $0.25/mile driven, reasonable wear and tear, and the cost to repair the Vehicle to Tesla’s Used Vehicle Cosmetic and Mechanical Standards."

So basically, there is a fixed deduction, plus they can deduct whatever else they want and just write it down as cost to repair back to their used vehicle cosmetic and mechanical standards

Ok. Can I sign you up to come try it out under our legal system? I have heard of armchair quarterbacks. Do you folks that think this is a nothing burger have judges robes in your closet we are not aware of?

One is playing a numbers game. Tesla could wait 6 days, or 6 months for a filing. Enjoy one's sleep in the meantime. Maybe put that money in a savings account until sol expires.

I think you are missing the point here.

Tesla doesn't have to take YOU to court at all. Ever.

Why?

Because you are already scared.

(PS there's been months worth of discussion on this here with actual lawyers, I'll take their word)

Yep. Internet lawyers. Nothing like them.

This thread has gotten a little astray.

basically, the cost of litigation to damages is an issue for either parties…. Either side may win or lose and at the end there is no winner. Arbitration costs money that tesla doesn’t want to spend.

Ones I have met and know personally.

Believe me the fear is much more powerful than the rest. Like with everything else being pedalled.

If they took anyone to court over this they lose in the public court of opinion, and demand goes down even more. They already have a demand problem, cheapest Teslas available ever atm despite inflation. Except for CT. Think about that for a minute.

And BYD and the rest of China vehicles is coming in like a tidalwave worldwide, Tesla won't keep up with EV's, China has put their pedal to the metal on manufacturing exports.

Do you see how it works? They're to busy to care about you.

Wheather they are to busy to care about you or not is irrelevant. If your word means nothing to you, if it doesn’t bother you to lie, then go ahead and sell your truck.

I want all my trucks, I don't want to sell any.

Lets be clear here that a customer doesn't have any ability to negotiate the clause out of the contract, the only option is to go without a Cybertruck.

Further, there being a clause in a contract doesn't automatically make it legal. The court will decide that in a hearing, and so until its tried its not tested.

So agreeing to a clause that is illegal in the first place has exactly what consequence? If you agree in a contract to rob Paul to pay Peter a bribe, does that make the contract right?

So if I have the option between not buying a CT because I can't force them to change the contract, or buying one and not having to worry about the clause because its illegal to ask that from me in the first place, which one is exactly correct?

And life goes merrily on.

More Cybertrucks are being offered foe sale at Car Gurus.

Send in the cease and desist order if Tesla really had a case.

Well, as the song goes... maybe next year.

Or never?

Thats just silly.

Public Opinion is definitely against scalpers.

Yea tons of them listed and selling, hope you were not in line for one.

Not if theres a legit argument its illegal to do in the first place. Perception is key. People don't buy cars for more trivial things than this, like they donxt like the colour, or fingerprints etc. Depending on which media you watch the affect will be the same.

You'd also likely not stand for it if you knew the background facts on how it works, and who it hurts most. Hint its not professional scalpers at all.

Again, I am hard put if Tesla can demonstrate hurt or loss by any or all resale.

I think you should quite being condescending.

The scalpers are just trying to make a quick buck. If they were "hurt" - may be don't buy a $100k truck.
