The fact that a manufacturer can disable a vehicle also means they can take the same car and make it worse to force a person to trade up. There is an electric motorcycle brand right now that offers an extended range battery. To get the extended range all you need to do is pay the dealership to unlock the battery capacity. What is stopping these companies from doing the opposite?

[@michaelhickland4450]

The problem is if they disable it & try to reprocess it, you will have grounds to refuse as if its locked in the garage that's private if its parked on your driveway then they have access to it because its close to public road

[@johnthomson3070]

​@michaelhickland4450 If the "owner" has breached the legal agreement, you'll basically have stolen property in your garage so Tesla will have legal costs incurred to get it back meaning the "owner" is liable for those costs too. This is insane and just another example of people not reading agreements that they sign. It does sound like there is no getting round the agreement unless you moved it to another country that was not within the same jurisdiction that the agreement was signed. You'd have to be mental to sign that deal.

[@Itsallsotiresome]

Wow. They took the DLC approach to vehicles. That's effn horrible.

[@HampshireHooker]

I think these terms are not legal. You can put whatever you like in a contract and oblige people to sign it, but that does not make it legally binding under English law. Full payment leads to full ownership and nobody can tell you what to do with your own vehicle. Of course you are free to sell it.

When it comes to car dealers remotely shutting down vehicles, I've seen it happen with US Auto. They would have an alarm go off in the car if you were late on your payment every time the car started. Then they'd remotely shut down the car if payment was never sent. It was a franchise used car dealership based in Lawrenceville, GA, and they recently shut down abruptly with no notice to employees or customers who had vehicles financed with them! It was all over the local news with horror stories about people not knowing that they were shutting down, and they continued to pay their car note, but some of the payments never made it to new owners of the loan, and it resulted in some customer's cars being repossessed even tho they did nothing wrong.

It is hard to see that "ethics" would be any part of a person's decision to purchase a Cybertruck, it may be an EV but the design is brutal in respect to the environment, fellow road users and pedestrians. It is bizarrely exempt from crash-test approval, and the sharp edges would prevent its sale in Europe. Within six months it will no doubt earn a reputation for decapitating someone in what should have been a minor accident. Applying logic suggests that the launch price and the current premium is going to be short lived, someone following through on their option to purchase should expect to have about six months to make a return on their investment, after that, expect the Cybertruck Foundation model to be among the fastest depreciating vehicles in history, as the novelty value disappears. It is hard to square Tesla being an ethical company. As an "EV only" vehicle manufacturer it should be, but the CEO is fast becoming a Trump sycophant and it it hard to consider a man as "good" who in the same week as announcing "There is nothing I hate more," 10% job cuts, follows the crocodile tears up by issuing a personal pay demand for $55B, and is capable of sacking an entire 500 strong Supercharger team in a knee jerk response to a disagreement with the division's female Director. It will be interesting to see if the restriction to prevent the sale of something that is likely to lose value in six months time is legal, or if attempted to enforce, would end up severely damaging the company's reputation. Tesla are slowing gaining a reputation for being arrogant in the way they treat their customers on the cusp of implying that it is privilege and not a right to own a Tesla.

Please advise if this is Tesla’s finance deal. They were offering .9% finance!

[@jimwright2795]

Ok. 1) Insurers are 'getting it', right? 2) When will lenders, those who finance auto loans, begin to 'get it', if ever? 3) When will Tesla become "Buy here, Pay here?" 4) When will sales go to zero?

They aren’t type approved for the UK anyway or, probably Europe. Zero pedestrian safety in a collision.

Elon doesn't care about pedestrians or other people on the road apparently.

i was waiting for that marketing agreement to get to the merchantability of the product. it didn't. i might as well be buying and selling crypto as purchasing that vehicle. i will give it a miss for now and look elsewhere to buy a means of transport.

Sounds almost like an NDA. They’re going to tell you what to do with your own stuff forever. The thing is a joke just like the Hummer was. People always scramble for the new shiny thing. PT Barnum is laughing his ass off.
