Recently, according to media reports, Tesla has released its latest purchase agreement. It is reported that in the latest purchase agreement, Tesla states that if the Cybertruck is resold within one year of delivery, the seller will face a claim of $50,000 (approximately 364,900 RMB) and will be permanently barred from purchasing Tesla vehicles.
Limited to Cybertruck: You understand and acknowledge that the Cybertruck will be released in limited quantities initially. You agree that within the first year after the delivery date, you will not sell or attempt to sell the vehicle in any way. However, if due to unforeseen circumstances, you must sell the vehicle within the first year after the delivery date, and Tesla agrees that your reasons can be considered as an exception to the no-resale policy, you agree to notify Tesla in writing and give Tesla a reasonable time to decide whether to purchase your vehicle.
The purchase price will be listed in your final price sheet, deducting $0.25 per mile of driving mileage and reasonable wear and tear, as well as the cost of repairing the vehicle according to Tesla's used car appearance and mechanical standards.
If Tesla refuses to purchase your vehicle, you can only resell the vehicle to a third party with Tesla's written consent. You agree that if you violate this provision or if Tesla has reason to believe that you will violate this provision, Tesla may seek injunctive relief to prevent the transfer of vehicle ownership or demand a $50,000 default penalty or the value received as consideration for the sale or transfer, whichever is higher. Tesla may also refuse to sell any future models to you.
Previously, to prevent scalping and resale of vehicles, Tesla had introduced corresponding policies. Owners who placed orders for multiple Tesla vehicles in a single or multiple transactions needed to sign a commitment letter, promising not to resell to third parties within one year. Violators were subject to a 20% penalty based on the invoiced price of the vehicle.
