This thing was announced over 4 years ago. Tesla has been taking preorders for 4 years. It’s a little late to change the agreement. Then again, I can’t imagine ordering this thing 4 years ago and still wanting it after everything Elon has done.
Agreed. Especially considering how good (and available for purchase) the F150 Lightning is.
@Stillhart @dark_stang Also have you seen that stupid thing? siiiigh
I actually liked the looks 4 years ago when they announced it but by now I’ve kinda gotten bored of it. The design has aged even before the vehicle is out.
The f150 is huge, unnecessarily huge. But still better than this thing yes. I wish somebody would make an electric truck or ute the size of an old Ranger or S10.
@dark_stang yeah good call, at least the battery is reverse compatible for powering your home
Wild that the F150 is the biggest selling automobile in North America by a long shot. Would be great to at least get these folks off fossil fuels but…
I still can’t believe what it looks like… It’s like a computer graphic from the early 90s.
When they first announced it I wondered why they were using such low-budget CGI concept art to promote it.
Like Max Headroom lol
I wont stand for besmirching Max like that.

I just got my Tesla back after 11 months in the shop waiting on Tesla to provide the parts needed after a relatively minor fender bender. I love that car, genuinely, but NOBODY should be buying a Tesla until they get their supply chain shit together. It’s certainly the last time I buy a car from a manufacturer that isn’t well-established (sorry, Rivian, Lucid, etc.)
Telsa isn’t even close to being the first automaker to do this, it is to prevent scalping on pre-orders.

I knew Elon was a prat the second he sued Top Gear and lost over a Tesla review.
Top Gear were kinder than they really should have been.

For anyone just reading the headline, it’s already been deleted:
[…] a now-deleted update to the electric carmaker’s terms of service said the firm could sue customers for $50,000 or more if they resell during the first year of ownership without first getting written permission from Tesla. The provision seemed designed to deter scalping for a car expected to be available only in limited quantities after CEO Elon Musk’s statement that Tesla “dug our own grave with the Cybertruck.”
The aim of the clause was to prevent scalping of the truck.
Walking back yet another stupid action by Tesla. Why is it nearly everything Musk touches becomes so moronic? He wants to get to Mars so bad, he should just strap his ass to a rocket and aim it and go, and never return.
This is something I’m surprised hasn’t happened more often. Just look at how gung-ho Ferrari is with their lawsuits.
