Tesla Removes Clause Threatening to Sue Cybertruck Resellers

Move Sparks Speculation About Regulation of Resale Market as Cybertruck Launch Nears

Tesla has removed a clause from its Motor Vehicle Order Agreement that threatened to sue Cybertruck owners who resell their vehicles within the first year of ownership.
The clause, which was specific to the Cybertruck, allowed Tesla to sue for $50,000 if a Cybertruck was sold within the first year and even gave Tesla the right to refuse future vehicle sales to those who violated this rule.
The removal of the clause has sparked speculation that Tesla may have been attempting to regulate the resale market for the Cybertruck as the company ramps up its production capacity.
The Cybertruck, which has been a subject of significant debate since its 2019 reveal, is expected to start reaching consumers by the end of this month.
The delivery event for Tesla’s highly-anticipated vehicle is set for Nov. 30 at the Texas Gigafactory.
