A Cybertruck owner is celebrating the fact that Tesla sold him a defective truck. He can now avoid all the depreciation by returning the vehicle to Tesla at full price. However, he’ll be using the money to buy another Cybertruck for $30,000 less.
There was word going around late last year about how the Cybertruck doesn’t have a protective coating on the body so the adhesive from vinyl wraps oxidizes and permanently messes up the finish of the stainless steel when the wrap comes off.
Yeah, I just noticed that some of these aren’t actual “news” sources, so I added a couple of others that seem to corroborate each other. It’s important to get a varied perspective when the source is new to you or doesn’t have established credibility.
