The contract included a clause that required the customer to contact Tesla if they wanted to resell the Cybertruck within a year after delivery of the vehicle. If Tesla did not express interest in repurchase, the buyer could transfer the pickup to another person, provided that Tesla gave written consent.

In light of the negative backlash, Tesla decided to remove the requirement for prior authorization from the brand to resell the Cybertruck before completing a year of acquisition of the vehicle. The new rules no longer include legal threats to customers who wish to quickly resell the model.
