It’s shit behavior that should be illegal, but I also can’t feel bad for any moron that sees this truck and still agrees to buy it.

    Is this to be an asshole, or to avoid people reselling the car at x2 the price because of the lack of supply during the first year?

    I hate Musk, but if this is intended to prevent price go urging, it might be a good thing (see nvidia scalpers)

    Even with the best of intentions, which I doubt is the case here, a company that sells you a product shouldn’t be allowed to dictate what you do with the product once you’ve purchased it. They can be selective about who they sell products to, and use that as a barrier to attempt to stop scalpers. But once I own something if I want to turn around and resell it the manufacturer should have no say in that.
