Tesla Reinstates Controversial Resale Clause for Cybertruck

Public deliveries of the limited launch edition 'Foundation Series' Cybertruck may commence soon amid high demand and resale controversy.

  • Tesla has reinstated a clause in its contracts for the limited launch edition 'Foundation Series' Cybertruck, threatening to sue owners who resell their vehicles within the first year for $50,000 or the value received from the sale, whichever is greater.
  • The clause, which was initially introduced and then removed from the public copy of the agreement, has caused confusion among buyers and sparked debate over Tesla's right to control the resale of its vehicles.
  • Despite the controversy, Tesla has begun sending 'prepare for delivery' emails to some Cybertruck order holders, suggesting that public deliveries may be commencing sooner than expected.
  • Meanwhile, the demand for the Cybertruck remains high, with early reservation spots for the vehicle fetching high prices on eBay.
  • Tesla has yet to clarify whether the resale clause will apply to all Cybertruck buyers or only to Foundation Series owners.
