Cybertruck No-Resale Ban Lifted: Tesla Surprises Market with Direct Sales Flexibility

In a surprising move, Tesla has removed the no-resale policy from its Cybertruck sales agreement, dramatically changing how buyers can access the vehicle through direct online purchases.

Cybertruck No-Resale Clause Removed

Notable changes were made to the Cybertruck's sales agreement this week, suggesting that Tesla has lifted a policy against the transfer of the vehicle.

Tuesday, a number of X users brought to light the fact that Tesla has discreetly eliminated the Cybertruck no-resale restriction from its sales agreement. This regulation had previously forbade customers from selling their Foundation Series Cybertrucks within one year of receiving their vehicles, with the possibility of being fined $50,000 or more.

Tesla Widens Cybertruck Availability

According to Teslarati, this section has been removed because Tesla has started selling Foundation Series Cybertrucks more widely. Instead of making a reservation, customers can buy the EVs through the company's online order configurator.

Below you can see the revised sales agreement and, just below that, the no-resale policy paragraph that was removed.

Although the regulation had already been in place, some players continued to resell Cybertrucks, incurring the risk, and many others were unhappy with the requirement. Included in the now-missing phrase was Tesla's ban on certain re-sellers purchasing its vehicles again.

The individual who resold a Cybertruck in March received official information about this situation, and as a result, all future purchases placed by them will be revoked without a refund of the $100 reserve or $250 order fee. This information was communicated to them via email from Tesla.

According to the seller, Tesla canceled two more Cybertruck orders after they revealed the VIN on a CarGurus listing. The seller believes that this was discovered because of this.

Cybertruck's Rising Popularity in the US

After the first delivery event, which happened last November, Tesla is planned to keep constructing the Cybertruck Foundation Series launch edition for at least another year.

The electric vehicle has been named the best-selling vehicle in the United States for the last two months, and the manufacturer has been increasing manufacturing of the Cybertruck at its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.
