Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year::Tesla may agree to buy the truck back at the original price minus "$0.25/mile driven" and any damages and repairs.

Ferrari has some similar bullshit, but you agree to it in a contract when you buy the car. If you refuse they simply don't sell you the car.

(Ferrari chooses you, not the other way around)

    Sure, question is of course: will they be able to do something about it if you agree to the terms and sell it anyway. I don't think 'breaking' an agreement based on unlawful stipulations is actionable (ianal)

    For Ferrari, if you break their stipulations, they put you on a blacklist and won't sell you another ever again. I can't find any other hard-and-fast things they do because there's a lot of rumor milling, but barring you from purchases and ending your dealership maintenance seem to be "for sure". I imagine it comes with some other stigmas from the community too. But much like real estate covenants if you agree to something in a contract, and then break it, you're subject to civil action. In a Covenant, the contract holders are permitted to buy back your house and evict you.

    If I recall correctly, Ferrari being assholes is why Lamborghini isn't just a tractor brand.

    Yeah for the people in question (buying ferraris/teslas) that blacklisting part might be deterrence enough. Still, even in that real estate covenant construction you mention, that 'something' they stipulate cannot be unlawful I think.
