- A clause in the Cybertruck's pre-order agreement shows that Tesla may "unilaterally cancel any order that we believe was placed for the purpose of reselling the vehicle or was placed in bad faith."
- The Cybertruck purchase contract includes provisions that allow owners to resell their vehicles under certain extenuating circumstances.
- However, it also includes provisions that give Tesla the right to fine owners $50,000 if it believes they intentionally sold the car.
- Furthermore, Tesla reserves the right to refuse to sell any vehicles to individuals who purchase company vehicles for profit.
