A Latin faces a huge problem with Elon Musk that could lead him to jail: a man said through his TikTok account that Tesla filed a demand against him for “tune up” his Cybertruckwhich he recently purchased. In a video that already has millions of views, he recounts the modifications he made to the vehicle, which were reason enough for Tesla to demand payment of $500,000 dollars.
What started out as the purchase of his dream car turned into a nightmare for this Latino who now faces a lawsuit against Tesla. Some time ago, Emmanuel, as the man identifies himself on his social media, purchased a Cybertruck with the aim of using it for his daily work.
However, once he made modifications to the vehicle, he received a letter from Elon Musk’s company notifying him of the lawsuit they would file against him for “tuning” his vehicle. The amount of the claim amounts to $500,000 dollars, that is, almost 10 million Mexican pesos.
It is a electric pickup truck developed by Teslaknown for its futuristic design and robust construction. It is made with ultra-strong stainless steelwhich provides durability and protection against impacts. The Cybertruck is an electric vehicle, with four-wheel drive, ideal for both work and personal use, and stands out for its capacity to trailer of almost 5,000 kilos and its range of up to 547 kilometers on a single charge.
On his TikTok account @haslotumismo, Emmanuel said that installed an accessory on the top of the car (basket type)to transport materials such as cement, wood and ladders, which he uses daily for his work; he said he does not consider it fair that Tesla sues him for add this part to cart Well, it didn’t change the original design.
“I don’t think they’re suing me for this. This doesn’t make sense, but I have to resolve it within 60 days,” said the Latino. He added: “I just added a piece, it’s not a modification. If I had done what other people have done, it could be a modification, but this is just an accessory.”
Clarifying Tesla’s half-million dollar lawsuit for modifying the Cybertruck
Visibly worried, the man revealed that the cost of the Cybertruck was approximately $136,000 (including taxes and interest) so the demand for $500,000 seems like an abuse. “I find it horrible… I paid 136 thousand for the car, and for them to sue you for half a million, I find it an aberration,” he said.
As the owner of a Tesla car, you agree to comply with certain rules of the company founded by Elon Musk and one of these has to do with modifications to its vehicles, especially the Cybertrucks. Tesla says any changes to its cars could compromise performance, security and even the guarantee.
When purchasing a Tesla, owners sign agreements that restrict modifications permitted, and any major alteration can cause legal problems. For this reason, the Latino now faces a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s company, because it did not respect the original design.
