Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year::Tesla may agree to buy the truck back at the original price minus “$0.25/mile driven” and any damages and repairs.

    If you want to avoid scalpers, limit how many units a single person can buy, and have very specific contracts with third party vendors. That’s it.

    You can’t prevent me from selling my own property, and it’s bizarre to even suggest such a limitation would be in my best interest

        There’s nothing to stop anyone from buying a single unit and scalping it

        Except, you know, the economic principles of supply and demand

              Presumably there’s going to be very few Cybertrucks. Supercar manufactures, with their very low production rates, generally have some kind of wait list, Ferrari goes to extremes and won’t even consider selling you most stuff if you’re not already driving a more entry-level Ferrari.

              It’s not really about the money, though: If a Sheikh comes along and wants your car, he’s just going to add double the penalty amount to his offer. It’s more about getting shitbinned by the manufacturer.

                Ah, yeah that’s my bad. I didn’t think about the manufacturer-limited supply and sort of misunderstood the point. That’s for being patient with me and setting me straight.
