Tesla Resale Drama: Cybertruck Edition: $50K Penalties, Banishment, and a Side of 'Just Kidding, No Lawsuits!’
Buckle up for a saga hotter than a SpaceX launch—it's the Tesla Resale Drama: Cybertruck Edition! 🌐💥 Imagine a plot twist-filled ride with $50K penalties, banishment threats, and a dash of 'Just Kidding, No Lawsuits!' 🎢💸
In the Cybertruck saga, Tesla added a chapter to its rulebook for Tesla fans set to receive the cybertruck titled "No Resale for You, at Least Not Yet." These are laid out below;
"You agree that you will not sell or otherwise attempt to sell the vehicle within the first year following your vehicle's delivery date," it says.
"Tesla may seek injunctive relief to prevent the transfer of title of the vehicle or demand liquidated damages from you in the amount of $50,000 or the value received as consideration for the sale or transfer, whichever is greater. Tesla may also refuse to sell you any future vehicles," it says.
But if a customer has a good reason to sell their Cybertruck, Tesla may agree to buy it back at the original price minus "$0.25/mile driven, reasonable wear and tear, and the cost to repair the vehicle to Tesla's Used Vehicle Cosmetic and Mechanical Standards."
If Tesla does not want to purchase the vehicle, the company may then agree to let the customer sell it to someone else.
Legal U-Turn Alert 🔄
But after a few hours, Tesla pulls off a legal 180 faster than a Ludicrous Mode launch. As of Tuesday morning, the threat of lawsuits for reselling your Cybertruck had vanished quicker than a Roadster on Plaid Mode. No $50K fines, no banishment—just good vibes and happy wheels! 🎉🕺
Why the sudden U-turn? Rumor has it that Elon Musk's master plan involved guardrails on the Cybertruck resale rollercoaster while scaling up the production groove, and Elon hints at the Cybertruck's complex build. Is this the calm before the electric storm? 🤔 ⚡🤖
Entering the subscription labyrinth! Reselling got complicated with Tesla's software dance. The full self-driving feature? It's the VIP pass that doesn't transfer to a new owner. The software Waltz is exclusive, and the price? Up to $199 per month! 💃🚀
First announced in 2019, the Cybertruck is Tesla's first new product in years, and it is expected to shake up the electric pickup truck market. Tesla originally said the price of the truck would start at $39,900, but it's likely to be much more expensive due to pricey building materials.
Elon Musk, our resident fortune-teller, predicts Cybertruck greatness! A year to 18 months until the EV truck becomes a cash-flow rockstar, and he's aiming for a quarter of a million Cybertrucks annually by 2025. That's some serious electric thunder! ⚡💰
In the realm of unknowns, the Cybertruck remains a bit of a mystery weeks before its grand entrance but all in all, Tesla's Cybertruck delivery event is set for November 30 at its Texas Gigafactory
📱 Unlocking the Blue Bubble: The Nothing Chats Saga! 🚀
Prepare to witness the tech tale of the century because, drumroll please, Apple's iMessage has officially landed on Android, courtesy of Nothing Phone's groundbreaking Nothing Chats app! 🎉🌐
Nothing Chats: More than Just Chatting
Picture this: Nothing Chats, the brainchild of Nothing and Sunbird, is not your average messaging app. Launched recently, it's a first-of-its-kind platform that lets you dive into the blue bubble wonderland of iMessage directly from your Nothing Phone. It's like crossing into the forbidden city of Apple magic from the Android realm. 🤯✨
How It Works: Blue Bubbles Galore!
Now available on the Nothing Phone 2 and downloadable on the Google Play Store, Nothing Chats promises to bridge the iMessage-to-Android gap. Engage in an iMessage conversation, and your friends will see those iconic blue bubbles, making it seem like you never left the iPhone club. Full-quality image sharing and voice memos? Yep, it's got you covered! 📸🎙️
Is It Safe, Though? 🛡️
The million-dollar question: Is Nothing Chats the Fort Knox of messaging? Nothing claims no data is saved, and everything is encrypted. Sounds secure, right? Well, there's a catch. To unlock the iMessage treasure trove on Android, you have to sign in with your Apple ID. 🍏🔐
In theory, it's cool. In reality, sharing your Apple ID outside the Apple kingdom is like handing over the keys to the city. Nothing deletes Apple IDs after two weeks of inactivity, but the risk is there. If Nothing's armor were to crack, your Apple ID could be a pawn in the hands of digital tricksters. 😬🕵️♂️
The Green vs. Blue Battle Ends? 💬🤝
Say goodbye to the green bubble stigma! Nothing Chats aims to bury the hatchet between Android and iPhone users. But hold your emojis; Apple might not be throwing a confetti parade just yet. Complaints and actions could rain on this blue bubble parade, and sharing Apple IDs might make skeptics pause. 🤔💙💚
In a world where green bubbles meet blue, Nothing Chats emerges as a game-changer, but the future remains uncertain. Until then, let's celebrate the end of the green bubble vs. blue bubble dilemma—a tech saga for the ages! 🎭🌌
How Google’s Antitrust Trial Could Change Internet Search
Let’s embark on a digital odyssey as Google steps into the courtroom ring, locking horns with the U.S. Justice Department in a 10-week antitrust battle of epic proportions. 🌐🥊
Imagine the scene: U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta presiding, holding the gavel that could reshape the future of internet search. This is no ordinary legal tango; it's a high-stakes journey into uncharted territories of the digital realm!
The Sherman Act emerges as the protagonist in this legal drama, a heavyweight contender in the arena of antitrust laws. ⚖️ The Justice Department throws down the gauntlet, accusing Google of monopolistic practices. It's not merely a lawsuit; it's a colossal clash for market control, with billions hanging in the balance. Google's alleged monopoly on search engine services takes center stage, challenging the very foundations of the status quo.
Google, the digital titan, stands defiant, defending its empire with a bold narrative. They argue that users flock to Google because it outshines the competition. Contracts with industry giants like Apple are mere strategic moves, not sinister monopolistic plots, they claim. The courtroom transforms into a battleground of narratives—is Google the hero or the villain of this tech epic? 🦸♂️🦹♂️
The real talk hits home: users theoretically can opt for other search engines, yet the data reveals a different tale. Defaults wield power, and switching becomes a rare feat. Is it convenience or unwavering loyalty that anchors us in the Googleverse? The courtroom debate spills into the user's dilemma: to default or not to default? 🔄🔍
As the trial reaches its midpoint, the pivotal question looms large – how will Mehta cast his verdict? If Google faces defeat, the contracts that anoint it as the default search engine could crumble. Users might gain the liberty to choose their default, but at what cost? Will devices bear a steeper price tag, or will Google still retain its digital dominion? The verdict dilemma adds a suspenseful twist to this legal saga! ⚖️🎭
The outcome of this trial remains a cliffhanger, a tantalizing suspense hanging in the digital air. Will Mehta redefine the landscape of digital interactions, or will Google emerge unscathed? The ripple effect could reshape our search habits, navigation rituals, and online interactions. It's a tech thriller with an unpredictable ending – a sneak peek into the uncertain future of our digital adventures!
Stay tuned for more courtroom pyrotechnics, and may your search queries navigate the twists and turns with finesse! 🖥️🎤
