Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year::Tesla may agree to buy the truck back at the original price minus "$0.25/mile driven" and any damages and repairs.

They should just break down, go full camp with it, and make it look like a Warthog from Halo. At least then it would have a gimmicky reason to purchase one.

Wonder how long it will take for body kits to come out for these things.

I'm thinking not long. Tesla body repair is already known to be super expensive, so applying that to flat stainless steel panels? I'm not even sure body repair is going to be immediately available.

So in its stead, I'm betting a full on body replacement is ultimately going to be cheaper (and not in the ss that Musk insisted on).
