Tesla Blocks Resale of Cybertruck: Owner Blacklisted for Unauthorized Selling

Tesla Cancels Orders and Blacklists Unfortunate Owner of Cybertruck

Are you eagerly anticipating making a reservation for a Tesla Cybertruck, especially if your goal is to completely humiliate a Hummer EV in a drag race or put the bulletproof capabilities of the Tesla Cybertruck on display? However, it is important to remember that Tesla has established strict guidelines and cautions for those who intend to resell their Cybertruck within the initial year of owning it.

Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with the situation, an explanation will be provided. Currently, it has been reported that Tesla has taken action against a particular owner who attempted to sell their newly acquired Cybertruck. According to a post made by “malinecentral” on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, Tesla discovered the listing and expressed their disapproval.

In order to maintain the same exact quoted text, it would read:To clarify, the individual did not attempt to sell a booking, but rather a physical, in-hand Cybertruck. As for the extent of his ban from purchasing Tesla vehicles, malinecentral stated, “It is not clear to me if this applies solely to the new CT (Cybertruck) or all Tesla models.” However, based on the provisions outlined in Tesla’s Motor Vehicle Order Agreement, the cancellation of malinecentral’s reservations may only be the start of his consequences from the company.

According to a report by Business Insider on November 12th of last year, there was a “no resale” policy in place, but just a few days later, the language mysteriously disappeared from the sales agreements, as reported by Teslarati. However, by December 9th, Drive Tesla Canada revealed that the policy had reappeared and was now here to stay.

In the order agreement, there is a section specifically labeled as “For Cybertruck Only.” Within this section, potential buyers will come across the following statement: “You agree that you will not sell or otherwise attempt to sell the Vehicle within the first year following your Vehicle’s delivery date.”

The terms of the agreement state the repercussions for trying to sell a Cybertruck during the initial year, “Tesla has the right to pursue legal action to stop the transfer of ownership of the Vehicle or request compensation of $50,000 or the equivalent value of the sale or transfer, whichever is higher. Additionally, Tesla reserves the right to deny the sale of any future vehicles to you.”

According to Tesla’s policy, if a owner has valid grounds for selling, the company is open to buying back the Cybertruck, but with certain conditions. However, it appears that malinecentral has not received any legal threats at this time. In his recent update, he simply states, “No other word. Now we wait and see if they drop the hammer.”

Perhaps, however it must align with Tesla’s conditions. As reported by Medium, initially, a vendor must make contact with Tesla in order to meet their buyback criteria. If Tesla decides not to buy back the Cybertruck themselves, they may permit the owner to sell it to other parties.

There could be various motives for an owner’s desire to sell their vehicle, whether it be from sheer exhaustion and a desire for something new, or perhaps worries regarding reports of rust on the Tesla Cybertruck (although the truth behind these claims is multifaceted). However, regardless of the underlying cause, it is imperative that the owner obtains written authorization from Tesla before proceeding with the sale.
