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.

GM wasn't harsh enough IMHO. They should have black listed people who immediately flipped base C8s for significantly more than MSRP. Base C8s (not Z51) going for over 100k, with miles on them, was fucking ridiculous.

I'll say it now: car dealers are useless dinosaurs and there is no point to having them anymore. I don't need a dealer to tell me what options I want on my car. I can select those on a webpage after I've reviewed the available options. I need a place to take my car for service if it's a factory failure / warranty work. I can do the rest myself or pay another focused professional to do the work.

Yeah, pretty much every Hummer EV I saw was at a dealership lot, used, and marked up $100k

I really like your second paragraph!

[-] thejml@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Agreed, but I absolutely need somewhere to test drive the car as well before purchasing. There’s no way I would buy a car without it.

[-] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I would agree with that. I had a car shipped by an online sales company and when I showed up to test drive & but it, I didn't actually fit in the car properly, so I didn't end up buying it. Such is the life of being tall.

I'm just shy of 6 feet so not excessively tall by any means, but I test drove the Fiat 500 some years ago, and found there is no way for me to be comfortable in it. Interestingly the Mini Cooper was very comfortable, and could have easily accommodated someone taller - as long as anybody sitting behind you didn't have legs.

Yeah the Fiat is VERY small and I concur on the Mini. I'm a bit over 6' and I found regular Minis to be very comfortable with headroom with the countryman's being a bit better on the backseat situation 😂
