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

      It’s not “bizarre” in the slightest unless you’ve never heard of the concept of scalping.

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

          Except, you know, supply and demand are flipped on their fucking heads. That’s why this clause exists in the first place?

              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.
