Exactly, just like door locks keep the honest people out.Not sure why so many people are mad at the flippers. Just because tesla made a resale rule doesn't mean they are right.
If we were talking about houses instead of Cybertrucks nobody would bat an eye. The home builder doesn't come after you if you flip a house for a profit even if you sell the next day and do nothing to it.
Most people on these threads are homeowners I bet and I find it hard to believe they would price their house at the low end of the market to be less "greedy." What is the rate-limiting principle for what isn't greedy? The optics don't look good to call flippers greedy when you have the means yourself to buy a 100k truck. You could give the money in cash to a homeless shelter instead and pass on the cybertruck to help to cancel out the greed of others. There is no logical limiting principle for the false modesty and hypocrisy.
Most of the same individuals going on about greed also state things like "tesla low-balled me on my trade so I went private or KBB." So therefore the dollar amount is what bothers them not the natural human instinct at play.
Almost everyone, everywhere will charge the highest for possible price if they can.
Tesla is very unlikely to go after the flippers. It is free advertising and it makes their current pricing (essentially double from 2019 unveiling) seem benevolent when people see such a large mark up.
It is not worth it to Tesla to spend on legal fees and bad press when they are getting free advertising that makes current pricing seems reasonable.
I have nothing against the flippers and I'm excited for my truck. I'm helping out the giga factory employees' kids through college and it feels great.
There is absolutely no justification for Tesla to add the clause, except for us to discuss it and feed the hype machine its daily sacrifice.
