As a bit of context:
It is not uncommon for high end cars (and that is what they are marketing the cybertruck as…) and even a lot of “prestige” fashion or electronics to have a no resale for N months clause. That is actually “good” because it severely limits the resale/scalping market and discourages people from buying them to flip them.
That said, this is also a textbook example of when you provide an exception. Loyal customer (whether they are or not) who can’t actually use a product. Because then you can spin that as “We are a great company, we have your back”
Tesla is only interested in screwing customers out of money and never dealing with them again. It’s not a prestige vehicle, it’s a defective piece of shit.
Obviously. Doesn’t change that this is “normal”
What is not “normal” is that, like all of musk’s companies, they manage to fuck up even the most trivial of PR wins.
Gallant would either buy the truck back (maybe minus a “restocking” fee) and use it for parts or replace enough parts they can call it “new” and re-sell it. Or they would coordinate with an influencer they trust to favor them and broker the deal
Goofus tells the cusomer to go fuck themselves and assume they will win on twitter.
It isn’t normal. Toyota doesn’t ban you from resale, Ferrari does. Tesla isn’t comparable to Ferrari, and drawing that comparison only serves to normalize this lunacy. That’s the point I was making about that. The stans will punish themselves, and I’ll chuckle sensibly at it, but normal consumers getting duped into this kind of BS isn’t acceptable.
A Ferrari or Pagani is a high end luxury car, a Tesla is an overpriced normal car they want to hype up in order to sell it to chuds with more money than sense
Well that’s on him for buying a big ugly piece of crap from a company with a crazy dumb narcissistic greedy CEO.
Who is also a big player and financier of the new fascist movement
