United States – Tesla Cybertruck is quite different from many trucks that have ever been produced, and because of this, owners who would never own a big truck are now part of the market. At 6’11” tall, 7’11” wide, and weighing like a Frigidaire, owning and driving a Cybertruck is not for the faint of heart, as one man from Salt Lake City discovered when he attempted to find a way to return it, as reported by Reuters.
An Unexpected Predicament
The Tesla Cybertruck is not in any way like traditional pickup trucks, and hence, it has buyers who would not be purchasing a large pickup otherwise. Being an owner of and a driver of the giant truck, which is 18 feet long, 77 inches wide, and constructed like an industrial refrigerator, is not for the fainthearted, as one man from Salt Lake City discovered when he attempted to find a way to return a Cybertruck that he ordered but never actually needed after ordering it online. He and his wife separated, and he went from a house that had a garage to an apartment with narrow parking spaces. After he bought a new truck and found that it would not fit the existing parking space, he contacted the dealer who delivered his truck to inquire whether he could return the truck. The manager informed Raddon that his circumstances probably would not involve an unpredictable situation that would prompt Tesla to repurchase the truck. Raddon signed a Tesla Vehicle Order Agreement, which releases him if he sells the EV during the first year, but he must pay USD 50,000 and be barred from purchasing future Teslas. To wit, to get rid of his Cybertruck.
Strict Return Policies and Penalties
It is possible to highlight a number of considerations about it that simply do not make much sense to me. Raddon was a previous owner of a Tesla, he is a divorced man who had to move to an apartment that has no space for the new truck, and his response was another arrogant message: ‘If he attempts to sell it, he may be sued for USD 50,000 and be banned from ever buying Tesla again!’How in the world can someone/ anyone explain this kind of treatment? How can people still find a way to justify its failure, such a glaring and inherent weakness in a vehicle? I think it is Stockholm syndrome for them right now, as reported by Reuters.
