A brand-new Cybertruck buyer says he will reject delivery because Tesla is attempting to sell him a truck that has been sitting on the lot for months. His suspicion arose when Tesla matched him with a VIN immediately after he placed his order.
What even is the complaint? Does he want it to still be warm from the factory? He’s getting a piece of shit either way, I don’t see why he cares if it’s 4 months or 4 days.
Apparently, January was before they identified some of the production issues that led to recalls and so on. And also that Tesla has done a bad job with the recalls so even the “fixed” ones have misaligned panels and so forth.
Why anyone still has any interest at all in buying this piece of shit eludes me.
Batteries degrade in storage and theres an ongoing recall on older models.
Elon/Tesla/Cybertruck shit aside, if someone buying a car doesnt want old dealer stock thats up to them and making an issue of it is just poor business.
There’s plenty of people out there still driving and maintaining vehicles over 20 years old. Yes they require maintenance, but there’s no good reason for new vehicles to have potentially major maintenance/recalls within mere months.
The windshield is likely to crack while parked in the heat of the sun, the panel glue will also fail in the heat of the sun, and don’t get it wet, the doors don’t have any drain holes for water…
You know how windshields have this dotted pattern along the edge?
That is not there for style, that is there to make the glass heat up more evenly in sunlight, which in turn prevents temperature expansion and spontaneous cracking.

A piece of shit that’s been sitting out in the sun for 4 months is likely to be more solid than a fresh one. But it’s also likely to be more brittle.

The Cybertruck does not have that…
