Tesla customers shocked after uncovering truth about 'new' vehicles they purchased

Tesla customers have serious concerns about receiving vehicles that have deteriorated from months of outdoor storage, as one Texas buyer discovered when they learned their "new" Cybertruck had been sitting in a lot since January.

What's happening?
As Techoreon reported, Reza Soltani ordered the truck April 25 and received an immediate notification that his vehicle was ready for pickup. When he questioned the quick turnaround, a Tesla representative revealed the truck had left the factory Jan. 8 — meaning it was exposed to the elements for four-plus months.

Soltani decided not to keep the vehicle.

According to Techoreon, photographers have documented thousands of unsold Cybertrucks piled up outside production facilities. Some vehicles await delivery, while others lack buyers.

It amazes me there are people who still want that POS Cybertruck. A Ford F-150 Lightning or a Rivian are better choices if one wants an electric truck.

Of course, this is illegal.

Of course, Elon gets away with it because he has friends in high places.

Of course, any regulators or law enforcement that even sneezes around Elon will be fired and their agency crippled.
