The provision seemed designed to deter scalping for a car expected to be available only in limited quantities after CEO Elon Musk’s statement that Tesla “dug our own grave with the Cybertruck.”

It was still in the Tesla Motor Vehicle Order Agreement Terms & Conditions earlier today, but was removed from the document while we worked on this article.

Tesla may have decided to remove the clause after several news reports spread word of the change over the weekend.

Before the deletion, the document said Cybertruck buyers had to offer the car back to Tesla before any attempt to resell the vehicle within one year of delivery.

You agree that in the event you breach this provision, or Tesla has reasonable belief that you are about to breach this provision, 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.

“For the Cybertruck’s first year on the market though, governmental documents indicate that Tesla will only offer dual- and tri-motor all-wheel drive models which will carry higher starting prices.”
