    Jaroje was so worried that he tried to trade in the Cybertruck, but with no luck. He said he received a call and a text from a Tesla representative saying the company can’t take the truck back, even after sending them the hateful sticker.

    “He confirmed with the text message that Tesla is not accepting Cybertruck trade-ins at this moment,” Jaroje said. He hopes the community will set aside judgment and be open to differences.

    The vehicles are so bad that even the company that makes them won’t buy them.

      More like, they can’t sell what they’ve already got so they aren’t gonna take even more stock.

          Also because people don’t like to support the Nazi billionaire who is actively destroying their country. But the terrible quality control of their overpriced and poorly designed cars doesn’t help.

              You can mix multiple flavours. It’s like a chocolate vanilla swirl except it’s just two flavours of dogshit.

            Terrible QC is just the cherry on top. The things are just designed poorly front and back, inside and out.

        Fuck the cyber truck and all, but their sales numbers are still pretty good when you compare them to the other expensive EV trucks floating around.

        If they were more affordable, I guarantee you that you’d see more assholes driving these.

          Why would you? They can’t compare in any real metric, cause they’re not a damn truck.

      Judging this guy by the rest of the company he’s in as far as these Cybertrucks go, I wonder how “open to differences” he is towards other people.

      Didn’t the people purchasing them have to sign a document saying they would not resell them to a 3rd party? Or did that not happen?
