He just statet that it's not the first time and in some circles it's standard. Also to the majority of the people on this earth if a car costs 100k or 100kk it is the same thing because they will never afford either way.

What an insane fucking company Tesla is dictating what can and can not be done with their products after a customer purchases them and threatening this ludicrous fine - as though they’re a government agency. At what point did they stop really giving a shit about optics and public relations? Do they even have a PR team anymore or did Musk get rid of them all?

How is this a truck? A five seater with a sloped trunk lid and 2 doors. Isn't that a coupe? 4 doors would make it a sedan. Where is the bed or payload space? I can't see this holding as much cargo as an SUV. No way is this a half ton, or even a quarter ton.

right of first refusal. Its the type of contract language Tesla(and many others) use to stop the resale of their vehicles to prevent scalpers. You don't need to go do law school to understand that if tesla refuse to buy it at the prenegotiated rate, then that part of the contract is now fulfilled and he can sell it. if he has their refusal in hand, then he can ignore their legal threats.

You're assuming that the contract was *only* right of first refusal. Based on literally all of the evidence of how Tesla is behaving in this case why would you believe that the contract *only* contains a right of first refusal clause? It seems abundantly clear to me that Tesla has *more* restrictive language in the contract than mere ROFR. Why you believe *that* language to be invalid is the question you don't seem to have an answer for.

I mean fuck Tesla, but that's not how contracts work. People always have "good reasons" for breaching contracts, but unless those reasons are spelled out in the contract, or fall into an extremely specific and narrow set of legal carve-outs, any judge (not just an asshole) will rule summarily for Tesla. From Tesla's point of view the aim isn't to keep him from making a quick buck, it's to keep a secondary market for these monstrosities from existing for a little while so they can sell two of them to two suckers rather than sell one to the first sucker and have him offload it to the second. Shitty of them, but absolutely rock-solid from a contractual standpoint.

I just... So much of the market indicates people are struggling - yet certain status items continue to sell gangbusters and way outperform their practical value on the market.

I wonder if that language was in the contract to prevent what happens in ticket scalping industries… like Tesla didn’t want people buying up (what they presumed) would be valuable item just to flip it for profit. I mean, they’re kind of an abysmal company that has bought into its own ego.

> Why you believe that language to be invalid is the question you don't seem to have an answer for. because any other clauses preventing resale after tesla refused to buy it back at the negotiated rate would likely not hold up. the guy doesn't want it, he wants to sell it. Tesla doesn't want to buy it back, so hes just supposed to eat the loss and sit on a truck he doesn't want to own? If tesla doesn't want to buy it back, then they should not have a right to interfere with its sale to a second hand market. This would be like Apple saying I can't sell my iphone to someone else because then that person won't buy a new one.

Yeah i was just curious what car. I know the exclusivity of high end cars and i actually like that.

Like if a weapon maker doesn't want to sell to a dictator or a car company doesn't want to sell to a gaudy influencer. It sucks when others get caught in the net (like your dad i assume).

In the times of scalping, in which bots are buying everything and reselling it for more money, this is a great policy imo. It's only for the first year, nobody is saying you can't sell the car. Just that if you buy it, then you have to own it for a year before you can sell it.

Sell the car. Keep the deed. Pay the insurance. New owner tells cops he’s borrowing it if he gets pulled over. Once the year is up, transfer the deed to the buyer in exchange for the 1 year of insurance paid. Get this all notarized and copied for both parties and recorded on video with drivers licenses and insurance cards captured. Yes it’s a little bit of a pain, but it’s doable.

this type of contract is neither novel nor far fetched. it is common in the world of expensive vehicles and limited stock collectibles that mostly only very wealthy people buy. if it wasn't worth it to tesla to have such a contract, they wouldn't. i imagine they will pursue whatever recourse they can, including the fine, and easily win a judgement in their favor. personally, i think it's a stupid contract, but buyer beware and the customer is ultimately responsible for due diligence.

While Caesar did amass significant wealth during his campaigns in Gaul, it's important to note that he was already affluent before his conquests in the region. The fact that modern Germany extends west of the Rhine River underscores the significance of Caesar's campaigns in the region as incursions into Germanic territory, even without direct crossings of the river. In western Germany and parts of Belgium, the population was diverse, comprising a mix of Celtic and Germanic tribes. Caesar crossed the Rhine not once, but twice, in 55 BC near modern-day Neuwied, Germany, and again in 53 BC near Koblenz. While the initial crossing showcased Roman might and engineering expertise, it wasn't followed by a sustained military campaign in Germania. However, according to Caesar's own accounts, the second expedition involved more significant military engagements with the Germanic tribes. Although Caesar's actions didn't lead to a permanent Roman conquest of Germany as we understand it today, they had devastating consequences for the indigenous population.

Not technically a dealership. Tesla "sells directly to the consumer" from their "showrooms" or "galleries."
