Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year::Tesla may agree to buy the truck back at the original price minus "$0.25/mile driven" and any damages and repairs.

This is odd for us but Ferrari has similar contracts.

People may remember how Deadmau5 had to give up on his "Purrari". He was threatened with a lawsuit by Ferrari who was unhappy with his Nyan cat livery and colors. And this is not a one-off, Ferrari won't let you paint it in non-Ferrari colors and I believe they have restrictions on who you resell it to.

Deadmau5 replaced the car with a Japanese sports car that was happy for the marketing opportunity.

How can that shit conceivably hold up in court? What's mine is mine.

I bet someone determined could fight it but it would cost, and take time, and good luck getting your expensive, maintenance-heavy car serviced during and after the whole ordeal.

Oh yeah, I'm by no means advocating to get a Ferrari. 🤣

Those cars are garbage.
