Utah CEO forced to sell Tesla Cybertruck after it wouldn't fit into his tiny parking spot

This Utah CEO was forced to sell his Tesla Cybertruck after it wouldn’t fit into his tiny parking spot.

Usually Tesla would restrict the resale of Cybertrucks, but they had to make an exception here.

Blaine Raddon, a retired CEO from Salt Lake City, was left in a bit of a pickle with his order.

His living situation changed between ordering and receiving the truck, so he had no choice but to sell it.

Why this Utah CEO had a problem with his Tesla Cybertruck

When Blaine Raddon first reserved a Cybertruck, he was living with his wife in a suburban Salt Lake City home.

However, his living situation changed when they divorced.

He moved into an apartment complex, losing access to his driveway and being forced to use a parking spot.

Given that the Cybertruck is more than 18 feet long and nearly eight feet wide, this was less than ideal.

It was his hope to sell the Cybertruck, but there was a problem – selling the vehicle within the first year of ownership would violate the Tesla Vehicle Owner Agreement.

Such a violation would carry with it a $50,000 fine and a lifetime ban from buying the manufacturer’s cars.

As a result, Raddon took to social media to share his dilemma.

The attention he garnered led to a response from Tesla.

“I got a call from the executive office,” Raddon told the New York Post.

“It was a response to the article, and she said, ‘We changed those terms and conditions. You are free to sell your truck. We just haven’t published it yet.’

“I made her send me an email, to make sure I had it in writing that I was okay to sell.”

Raddon sold the truck within a week for $109,000, even making a $2,000 profit.

He went on to purchase a Model 3 Performance, which would be his sixth Tesla overall.

Cybertruck sales are plateauing

The Tesla Cybertruck is arguably the brand’s most recognizable car.

But in recent months, there’s been a lot of speculation that their sales figures have been struggling.

With headlines about parking lots filled with unsold Cybertrucks and production being halted in the Texas facility, this narrative has only gained ground.

And if a recent Tesla’s sales report is anything to go by, there may be some reason for concern over at the company’s headquarters.
