if you are one of the first Cybertruck owners
If you are one of the first cybertruck owners, the year is 2077 and you can just give one of the homeless kids on the ground floor of your arcology a soyplast boba tea so xir can hack the damn thing for you and disable the remote deactivation.

Seriously, this thing will only become viable for serial production once they invent nanomachine duct tape
-
I dunno the basic design would be very doable by other manufacturers. They just aren't that good at building cars. Other Teslas made in the US come with a ton of misaligned shit.

Using the possessive form of a pronoun as the singular? Guess pronoun technology will have advanced by then(I am not serious about grammar nitpicking here lol)

love "buying" and "owning" my epic bacon mobile
-
Isn't this also practaced by other super-car manufacturers?
-
it should be illegal when they do it too
-
actually it's very funny to fuck over rich people who buy supercars so no
-
I'm never going to own one so I don't really care. Musk is a shit heel too but the reaction to this "news" gives him more credit then he deserves. This isn't his personal idiotic idea its just some dumb industry norm the corporate entity is following.

i'm reasonably sure that's actually illegal in the eu
-
EU legislation is byzantine, but I wouldn't even a bet a ham sandwich against it being illegal in a huge chunk of the market

The remote disable is new.
A lot of “collector” cars have similar rules.
Cybertruck has more in common with a Lamborghini than a Hilux.

That’s only because Elon has no taste. He would if someone did a trans rights cybertruck

So they can sue you if you resell, but they don't have to buy it back if they don't want to. A prime example of anti-competitive behavior in effort to control competition in the secondary market and to manipulate market prices. They aren't even afraid of anti-trust lawsuits. I'm also guessing they anticipate this product is going to be a failure if they're willing to take such a risky position.

How...how would they even know? Titles or something?
-
I imagine it's if the new owner contacts Tesla for a repair of some terribly designed part that came broke or breaks too easily, Tesla disables truck
-
Sounds like that guys problem lol

It's, easy. Once it has burst into flames they will DNA test the charred remains inside and if it's not yours your loved ones are in big trouble.

that's how you know it's cool.

On the one hand I’m like what the fuck, on the other anyone who’s buys one of these bazingamobiles gets what they deserve

Another step to consumers never owning anything, everything is just rented.
Cars have always been spiritually a rent thing, even if not explicitly legal so.
