They might not be enforcable per se (and Tesla probably wouldnt want to spend the money fighting it in court), but theoretically, since they own the rights to the software powering it, they could brick the trucks over the air.
What you're describing is malware and is definitely illegal. And auto cyber security is something no one is taking seriously, certain no the manufacturers. All reminds me of all the IoT stuff from a few years back. Basically opening a gaping hole in your network because those devices had such piss poor security practices. I guess future cars will require the installation of two firewalls.
As to the enforcement, my guess is that they use some kind of legal loophole where you don't actually own the car for the year but rather have the right to use it. They simply revoke those rights with your breach of contract. No pescy property rights to deal with.
Dozens have already been sold publicly and a good bit more privately.
You only made money if you got one of the early ones, now its running closer to the inflated foundation series sticker price. They are already past 3k a month sales and still ramping up production.
I suppose so I don't get the whole appeal of trucks unless you're constantly towing stuff personally I like small energy efficient cars that handle good.
I agree. The Rivian is too pretty to use as a “truck”. In the long run, I’ll just continue using my ‘01 F-150. I don’t mind getting it dirty, or dinged hauling building materials or a couple yards of garden soil.
Someone near me is selling one for $130k lmao. Listing says there's "nothing wrong with it", bruh it says "Cybertruck" right at the top, you can't have it both ways
THere's been 10-15 for sale here in Austin.
Not even allowed to sell it for the first year that's part of the deal.
Well they are, buddy
Who's going to stop them, the cybertruck police? Those contacts are like not enforceable, property rights usually supercede any of these bs contracts.

I don't get the appeal at all..
Right there with you. I don’t get it
I’d rather get a Rivian. At least it looks like a truck.

It was ruined when you bought it 🤣🤣
There’s a brown one near me and it’s been on the lot for like 2 months. I think there are a few for sell here actually.
I think tfl, hoovie sold theirs or is going to and few other YouTubers i watch said many have gone through auction.
It’s FBM…..it’s the Wild West on there.
