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.

but I’d really, really love a car that doesn’t ding if you look at it the wrong way.

Well you better hope you never ding the Cybertruck unless you want to replace an entire stainless steel panel and hope it aligns properly.

Also it’s stainless steel, not scratchless steel. Anyone who’s scrubbed a stainless steel pan knows they scratch up quickly.

Perfect panel alignment is more than one can expect from a Tesla direct from the factory

And the "bare stainless steel body panels" isn't a new thing on a production car.

Unsurprisingly they had a ton of issues with it back then too.
