    ”The EV maker has already blacklisted a customer that tried to sell his Cybertruck without asking for permission. Furthermore, it also canceled the reservations that he had pending, and he will not be permitted to buy a Tesla ever again. ”

    What the actual fuck?

    The fuck is that bullshit about needing Tesla’s permission to sell a product you purchased. Fuck off.

      I was wondering if that was something common in the industry. I bought it, it’s mine…but I can’t sell it? Yeah, number one bullshit right there.

      Nope, just a Musk thing on cybertrucks. Probably worried about someone who wasn’t a raving fan boy getting one and killing the hyp

    “What is the remaining market value of your car?” is a massively important question for every car owner needing to have their finances in order. New cars depreciate faster than old ones, expensive cars depreciate faster than cheap cars. It is said that, when you buy a brand-new luxury sedan, just the simple act of driving it off of the lot will cost you easily 5000 dollars.

    If you are not even allowed to sell your car, its market value at that point in time is effectively zero dollars. Keep that in mind when deciding what to buy.

      “Never buy a new car” is probably the most basic and practical financial advice. Buy used, lease new, but never buy a new car. You lose thousands to tens of thousands in value just during the first year. Might as well burn your money for heating instead.
