DO NOT RE-SELL HAPPY FUN TRUCK — Tesla again threatens to sue Cybertruck buyers who try to flip it

Ars was contacted by one Cybertruck buyer who provided us with a copy of the order agreement he received after submitting a $122,135 order. The agreement received by this buyer contains the resale-lawsuit clause that was deleted last month from the public version of the order agreement. The public version has a rule against quick resales but not a specific lawsuit threat.

The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee. According to the order agreement, Tesla doesn't have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels a purchase after submitting a completed order.

Invitations to order sent Friday

The clause's reappearance was also confirmed Friday in a post on a Cybertruck buyers forum. People who made early Cybertruck reservations received their invitations to order the limited-availability Foundation Series edition on Friday.
