No Resale Provision is Back

[HaulingAss]

Lack of app control is a significant impediment to such an agreement. It would also enable you to track their location, spy on them with sentry mode, etc.

And if you ever angered them, they could rat you out to Tesla.

The whole thing seems problematic

That's a good point. It's the scalper who is taking almost all of the risk. The person who might purchase from a scalper is not breaching any contracts or breaking the law, so their only fallout is the very minimal risk that the sale could be invalidated, if a court ruled the scalper didn't have the legal right to sell it, however unlikely that may be.

As an investor I'm not afraid to enter into risky investments, but only if the potential payout is big enough to create a good risk/reward ratio. The "no re-sellers" clause creates enough risk that it greatly reduces the number of people who will try to profitably scalp. Most people don't need that kind of inconvenience and uncertainty in their lives. Without that clause, it's close to a no-brainer to take delivery and flip it for more.

This is a big win for sincere people who reserved themselves a Cybertruck and want it ASAP and without paying exorbitant markups to overly opportunistic scalpers.

The need to generate some plan to overtly avoid suspicion is, at it's core, the very problem here. This is NOT in good faith.



You're clearly assuming lots while dancing around fine print ?

Wrong on both counts. What is wrong with purchasing the vehicle with the intent to keep it and then decide they would prefer to sell it after 12 months?

The only assumption I’m making is that the terms of the agreement are adhered to. If you don’t like them that’s your issue not mine…

Are you trying to find a way to sell a reservation here or just trying to make a point?

I’ve made my point: selling your CT after 12 months is perfectly fine.

I agree! It sounded like you were trying to find a way to seudo-sell in breach of terms or something. My bad if I read in to that wrong!

Nope. I wasn’t trying to do any of that.

But since you brought it up…

if you bought your CT with the intent to keep it & then you loaned it out to someone and then sold it after the 12 month requisite period, I would argue there is virtually no risk in doing so…..

That's not even flipping. People loan cars to friends and friends don't drag friends over the coals for a profit when they sell it.

if you make a profit on an asset by purchasing it lower than what you sell, by definition it is flipping for profit. Better to do it after 1 year to minimize capital gains taxes. ?

Your original post did not qualify which scalpers—it was scalpers in general.

seems you just have a weird idea of the meaning of the word “scalper”

As to my original point….you have still failed to demonstrate what would trigger tesla to investigate a sale that occurs 12 months after original purchase.

I have “failed to demonstrate” that, because it’s irrelevant

it’s irrelevant because it’s a 12mo ROFR period - so sales after 12mo are irrelevant

People who breach the terms of agreements (contracts) they sign are, by definition, not honest people. Because by signing the agreement, they agree to abide by all the provisions.

The law does not look favorably upon people who breach contracts. What do you think it means to sign something you have no intention of honoring?

There we go, not only in crayon but you stayed in the lines!

To C's point we know there will be situations though with illness, loss of job, or death that will put family's or individuals in a bad spot. I have to believe that Tesla will handle those situations with due consideration.

My, what an amusing conversation. We need a specific designation of terms for the word “scapler” so that this convo can either continue or end ?.

I bet Tesla is monitoring this thread. They may even be one of the posters.

My wife uses that line.

I don't think he would ever work them actually.
