Until recently, Tesla offered only four models in its range, namely the Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X. But over time, things have changed.

Tesla Cybertruck, the cost of which is increasing

Indeed, after years of waiting, Tesla has finally started shipping its long-awaited Cybertruck. The latter, an electric behemoth with sleek lines and a stainless steel body, has caused a lot of ink since its official unveiling late last year. If some lucky ones have already been able to get their hands on their example, others will have to wait many months, even years, before they can drive this unusual vehicle. And some have understood this very well and decided to take advantage of it, even if it is not very ethical or allowed by the American manufacturer. Indeed, and how Ford Bronco and other electric Hummer EVs, the Cybertruck has become the subject of speculation. High demand and long delivery times created fertile ground for opportunists. Owners, sniffing out a good deal, try to resell their Cybertruck at a high price without even receiving it.

Strong speculation about the Tesla Cybertruck

The story of a Porsche dealership in Atlanta illustrates this trend well: It bought a Cybertruck for $244,000 and is now offering it for sale at $289,999. A significant profit, especially when we know that the model in question is in its converted version Foundation series, originally cost $120,000 ex-factory. Knowing about this phenomenon, Tesla took the initiative to warn the first buyers. A non-resale clause was included in the sales contract: during the first twelve months after the purchase, it is forbidden to resell the car, except in cases of force majeure. Violators face a fine of 50,000 dollars. This measure is intended to prevent speculation and protect loyal Tesla customers. How long will this speculative frenzy last? Hard to say. In fact, everything will depend on the development of the production of pickup trucks, which should increase in the coming months.

So if assembly lines speed up and delivery times shorten, prices should return to their normal levels.
