特斯拉推翻了禁止客戶轉售Cybertruck純電皮卡車的規定,部分原因是其中一位客戶無法將這輛不銹鋼“坦克”停放在他公寓大樓的停車場。
據《紐約郵報》報道,來自鹽湖城的布萊恩·拉登(Blaine Raddon)自稱是特斯拉的超級粉絲,也是第一批預訂特斯拉最新車型的人之一。但就在他收到那輛價值10萬美元的電動卡車后不久,拉登就離婚了,并從一棟擁有寬敞車道的房子搬到了一棟公寓大樓,他不得不在一個較小的停車位上停放這輛18英尺*8英尺的汽車。
然而,由于Cybertruck純電皮卡車特有的“車輛訂購協議”,拉登也陷入了困境。他不能在交付一年內出售這輛卡車,否則將面臨5萬美元的罰款,而且終身禁止購買特斯拉產品。
拉登在特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk)控制的X上發表了一篇帖子(現已刪除),抱怨這項政策,很快在網上引起了廣泛關注,并引起了新聞媒體的注意。他告訴《紐約郵報》,最后,特斯拉團隊聯系了他。
他說:"我接到了高管辦公室的電話。這是對那篇文章的回應,她說,'我們修改了相關條款和條件。你可以自由出售卡車。我們只是還沒有發表正式通知而已。'我讓她給我發了封電子郵件,以確保我有書面文件證明我可以出售卡車。”
上個月,拉登終于在掛牌一周內以10.9萬美元的價格出售了他的Cybertruck純電皮卡車。由于有很多人等著購買新車,他實際獲利2000美元。盡管Cybertruck純電皮卡車出現了問題,但這位特斯拉的長期崇拜者表示,他將用特斯拉Model 3 Performance取代這款電動皮卡。
拉登告訴《紐約郵報》:"自2005年以來,我就再沒去過加油站。特斯拉產品非常好。”
如今,政策變化的消息已經傳開,一些Cybertruck純電皮卡車主也開始出售自己的卡車。在網上,一些Cybertruck純電皮卡車的標價高達15萬美元,遠遠高于2024款車型的零售價。
Cybertruck純電皮卡車自發布以來還遇到了其他障礙。上個月,該公司發布了兩項召回通告,幾乎涉及所有上路行駛的Cybertruck純電皮卡車(約1.2萬輛),原因是車輛的擋風玻璃雨刮器和卡車貨箱上的一塊飾邊存在問題。
評論家對電動卡車的制造質量和越野能力提出了批評,但也有人稱贊其駕駛體驗和再生制動的平穩性。
特斯拉的一些最忠實的支持者期待著新款Cybertruck純電皮卡車車型,尤其是在周一馬斯克發推展示了一張帶有賽博朋克風格和雨中城市背景的神秘卡車照片之后。(財富中文網)

Tesla overturned its rule against customers reselling the Cybertruck in part because one of them couldn’t fit the stainless steel tank into his apartment complex’s parking garage.
Blaine Raddon, a self-proclaimed Tesla superfan from Salt Lake City, was one of the first to reserve Tesla’s newest vehicle, the New York Post reported. But just after he received the $100,000 electric truck, Raddon went through a divorce and moved from a house with an ample driveway to an apartment complex where he had to fit the 18-foot-by-8-foot long vehicle in a smaller parking space.
Yet, thanks to a “vehicle order agreement” specific to the Cybertruck, Raddon was also in a tight spot. He couldn’t sell the truck within one year of delivery without incurring a $50,000 fine and a lifetime ban from buying Tesla products.
Raddon took to X, controlled by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, to complain about the policy in a now-deleted post that soon gained traction online and caught the attention of news outlets. Finally, Tesla’s team reached out to him, he told the New York Post.
“I got a call from the executive office,” he said. “It was a response to the article, and she said, ‘We changed those terms and conditions. You are free to sell your truck. We just haven’t published it yet.’ I made her send me an email, to make sure I had it in writing that I was okay to sell.”
Raddon finally sold his Cybertruck last month for $109,000 within a week of listing it. Thanks to the long waiting list to get a new one, he actually made a $2,000 profit. Despite the Cybertruck hiccup, the longtime Tesla admirer said he was replacing the electric pickup with a Tesla Model 3 Performance.
“I haven’t been to a gas station since 2005,” Raddon told the New York Post. “Teslas have been very, very good to me.”
Now that word of the policy change has spread, some Cybertruck owners are putting their vehicles up for sale, too. Online, some Cybertrucks can be found listed for up to $150,000, significantly more than what the 2024 model retails for.
The Cybertruck has faced other roadblocks since its release. Last month, the company issued two recalls affecting nearly all of the roughly 12,000 Cybertrucks out on roads over issues with the vehicle’s windshield wiper and a piece of trim along the truck bed.
Reviewers have criticized the electric truck for its build quality and ability to operate offroad. Others, though, have praised its handling and the smoothness of its regenerative braking.
Some of Tesla’s most loyal supporters are looking forward to a new Cybertruck model, especially after Musk on Monday tweeted a cryptic image of the truck in a cyberpunk style photo with a rainy city backdrop.
