How about the manufacturer builds enough stock so scalping makes no sense? I believe that if I buy a product I am entitled to do whatever I want with it as long as it doesn't brake the law. I hate scalping too, no1 did anything when it happened to GPUs or consoles or toilet paper during covid, so why are cars special?

    Stock does not just appear out of thin air. Manufacturing takes time to ramp up. So it's often not possible to produce enough for a high demand product.

    So maybe don't release a model until you have at least a decent amount of units? Still doesn't explain why cars are any different than other products that are scalped. Why are they not lobbying to create laws against such practices?
