Tesla's backtracked $50,000 resale fee could be a sign the Cybertruck isn't destined for the mainstream yet

• Tesla added (and quickly deleted) a $50,000 resale clause for its Cybertruck.
• The fee could be a sign the Cybertruck might be a smaller release than expected, experts said.
• Automakers typically use resell clauses on limited edition vehicles.

Tesla's rescinded $50,000 resale fee is the latest sign the Cybertruck won't hit the market in large numbers anytime soon.

Tesla spooked some investors and Cybertruck order holders on Monday with an unusual clause in their terms and conditions that made resale in the first year punishable with a $50,000 lawsuit.
