Tesla has included a clause in its motor vehicle order agreement for the Cybertruck, stating that it can sue customers for $50,000 if they resell the vehicle within a year of purchase. The company may seek injunctive relief or the value received for the sale, whichever is greater. Customers can avoid this by obtaining written consent from Tesla, although the conditions for granting exceptions are unclear. This move is likely aimed at ensuring that the Cybertruck is only sold to those who have paid for it, possibly due to the vehicle not entering mass production until next year.
