With the considerable order list / pent up demand, the Cybertruck is going to be at risk of profit gouging by resellers/Scalpers.
What mechanisms could Tesla employ to mitigate missing out on profit potential? (Without pricing out genuine reservation holders)
As a way to honour and secure genuine customer orders I believe a two part intervention strategy could be implemented.
Intervention 2. Auctions

- A clearly articulated and restrictive clause in the contract of sale that disincentivises on selling for a stipulated time frame (12-18months)
- A small proportion of monthly production allocated to delivery centres that are only available at auction.
- I envision a 12-18 month lock out for transfer of ownership.
- If transfer/sale is required because of financial distress the vehicle can be returned to Tesla for a full refund.
- Any returned vehicles can be placed in inventory and sold through the auction process.
Intervention 2. Auctions
- The auctions would be online for vehicles ready to be delivered.
- Full amount must be paid in order to bid.
- That bid would be placed in escrow and refundable or transferable to subsequent auctions should initial bids fail.
- Each delivery centre monthly allocation would be auctioned simultaneously.
- Only a limited number (3-5?) of bids could be made per auction to prevent sniping lowest bids.
- Subsequent bids must match or better 90% of winning bids. Or set rate for bidding. ~$700 increments.
- Minimum bid would be list price for that delivery centre.
- Contract of sale would include the current resale clause.
