@@rossmanngroup Louis, I always respect (and mostly agree) with your opinions but I believe you are wrong here. When the initial supply of a product is so limited (like newly release video game consoles or tickets to live concerts/sporting events), a malicious 3rd party middleman can interject themselves between the producer & consumer by purchasing large quantities of said product for the purpose of inflated re-sales (e.g. - Ticket Scalping). The Cybertruck would definitely qualify as a product that is both "highly in-demand" and "extremely limited in supply". As such, it would be reasonable to view this fine as "anti-scalper" & thus actually = a rare example of a "pro consumer" policy in today's economy.

If the purpose of the no-sale agreement was to prevent scalping, they would have specified that you cannot sell the vehicle for more than your purchased it for, and possibly given an even longer time frame than a year.

But having seen what happened to the video card market when scalping ramped up, I think it's reasonable to have controls in place to prevent it. Allowing scalping does nothing productive. It allows people with a lot of money to get people with less money to give them more money for absolutely no value. That is not good for society. That is just exploitation. It's another way for the rich to get richer while life gets more expensive for the vast majority of people.

If the goal was to eliminate scalping, then the contract would say "You can't sell it for more than you paid for it." or "You can't sell it for more than we do." or something like that. This contract says you can't sell it full stop. And they won't buy it back from you either. At this point they're just seeing how far they can shaft people and still get away with it.

They will offer to buy it back. It's in the terms of the agreement signed when the buyer bought that horrible parody of a motor vehicle. The agreement states that the buyer needs to inform them that they do not want the vehicle anymore and provide Tesla with enough time to decide whether to buy back the vehicle from the buyer or to "allow" them to sell their vehicle to a third party. There's a bunch of language in the agreement that allows them to drop the price (based on the condition of the vehicle) in their favor to low ball the offer as well. I can only hope there will be enough people rich enough to drag this agreement through court to see if this nonsense really allows a company to force you to waive your rights as a consumer or not.

Always respect Louis' opinions, but this will be the first time I will have to disagree & say that he's wrong. This fine is necessary to prevent scalpers from buying up the entire stock of a limited supply product (like PS5's on initial release or in-demand Ticketmaster concert tickets). The issue here SPECIFICALLY is that the initial stock of the product in question is so limited that the supply can be effectively cut off from the consumer by malicious scalpers. As such, this is a PRO consumer policy. Louis' reaction is entirely understandable given how consumers are being treated in virtually every other case, but is ultimately wrong here as he is failing to see how "anti-scalper" policies are actually pro-consumer.

If consumer agencies are going to be complicit, then our only recourse is to shame the idiots who do this in the hopes it reaches critical mass and consumers as a whole can temper their need for "cachet" and "status" of being the first to buy something that collectively we don't voluntarily sign away things to fill that need.

If I bought it, it's mine and I'll light it on fire if I want. How is it they have the rights to something AFTER it's been sold? This goes far beyond the "you'll own nothing and be happy".

Edit, ok, I see you mentioned ford with the lightening, but i believe ford told customers they weren’t allowed to sell their car back all the way from 2008 with the limited edition ford gt40 they made, and did it again with the next GT as well. Ferrari has been known to sue famous people for having their Ferrari wrapped in pink etc, because it wasn’t looking good, and on some super rare cars they would also not allow customers to resell their cars. They also have a policy on many of their cars where you can only buy a Ferrari if you already own a Ferrari etc etc, and so yeah I imagine they’d want to lock down the resellers to keep that exclusivity.

Ferrari getting on people's case for changing the color of their cars is just another example of the company putting their branding above all else, as Louis touched on in the handbags into wallets video posted prior to this one. It is the same reason that Windows has become so uncustomizable. Even though it is your PC that you paid for, it has to "look like Windows," whatever that is at that particular moment. Even if you are one of the many people who find white backgrounds intolerable, you had to put up with it, because Microsoft's branding concerns are more important than you actually being able to comfortably use the PC you paid for. That has been somewhat alleviated with the dark theme in more recent Windows versions, but it doesn't work for everything, and not everyone who wants to avoid retinal pain wants to go all the way to a dark color scheme. It used to be that a consumer product was meant to serve the needs of the consumer. The money was made by making that consumer happy. Now we have consumer items that are meant to keep serving the manufacturer even after they change ownership.

Always respect Louis' opinions, but this will be the first time I will have to disagree & say that he's wrong. This fine is necessary to prevent scalpers from buying up the entire stock of a limited supply product (like PS5's on initial release or in-demand Ticketmaster concert tickets). The issue here SPECIFICALLY is that the initial stock of the product in question is so limited that the supply can be effectively cut off from the consumer by malicious scalpers. As such, this is a PRO consumer policy. Louis' reaction is entirely understandable given how consumers are being treated in virtually every other case, but is ultimately wrong here as he is failing to see how this "anti-scalper" policy is actually pro-consumer.

@@matthewobrien5925 Ooooor, just let the market solve it. PS and luxury, yes, luxury cars are not a necessity. Scalpers can't do much when the market is not willing to pay more for early access. Scalping works for concert tickets, because its a limited time opportunity. With items like cars, consoles, games, physical goods, all you need to do is wait for the next releases, and have the scalpers stuck with items they can't resell (happened to PS scalpers). This is 101% not in place to deal with scalpers. IF, and this is a big IF. Cars were in limited supply, then sure. But they are not. You have plenty of choice on buying a car in most countries. This limitation of resell, is literally just in place to prevent a second hand market that bypasses the original producer.

@@matthewobrien5925 The policy goes way too far, and it also shouldn't be something a corporation can do. A government regulation, maybe, but an enforceable company policy? No. As to how the policy goes too far. It affects individual consumers too much. A fee for reselling more than one car would be more reasonable, and would stop any one entity from buying up and then reselling the multiple cars. This is also a problem of what cars are, cars should be a luxury commodity, instead in North America they're a necessity. If they weren't the price would be more fixed according to demand.

I like the way you summed everything up. Companies have zero loyalty to the consumer. When one effs around and gets away with it, everyone else follows shortly after. It's so apparent that this is happening but majority of people would rather put their blinders on over actually facing the reality of it. For me the worst part is that the sheeple will drag down the everyone else.

There are TV's out there now that won't let you use them until you register the TV with the manufacture. (Westinghouse, and I'm sure there are others now) Stay away from those. As for the manufacture not letting you sell, modify, or repair something you own.. I fully agree that this needs to stop. Just like the newer cars tracking your data and driving habits and selling that to insurance companies without your consent. Or how about those dealers that are installing GPS trackers without consent. The list goes on... Until manufactures see consumers stop buying their products, they won't stop these stunts. Sadly, there are too many manufactures doing it these days.

This has been going on for decades. Manufacturing employees can get discounts that are cheaper than what dealers pay for the cars. Limiting the number of cars bought per year and not being able to resell for a year has been going on since at least the 1970s. My dad worked at Ford and he had friends at both GM and Chrysler. They all had this restriction. Not supporting it, just saying things like this aren't new.

if they wanted to stop artificial shortages and gouging… they would have stopped at preventing a sale at price higher than you paid them… restricting any sale is about helping the car company creat a shortage second cars that would compete with new car sales.

Reasons like this keep me in the used market for cars... being broke also has some merit.. but if I buy it, it's mine, if the fine print says otherwise, I'm not buying it. As for the smart TV.... enjoy trying to steal my data when I won't use you features, won't hook up up to the internet and only use you as a big monitor. My next network up grade will involve vlans... that'll be setup just for the "you don't get to talk outside this network" level

Things like this are common in the exotic car market too, it's both to prevent people from turning right around and finding a buyer for more, but also preventing people from knowing sale prices in case it's significantly lower than the dealers want to charge.

It makes sense in the exotic range, because they're actually limited production - not mass produced.

Ferrari does this but they also don't sell those particular vehicles to the general public. That said there's a huge difference between a Ferrari Portofino and a Daytona SP3. Ferrari doesn't care if you get rid of your Portofino after a few months of ownership. There is nothing exotic or fancy or even rare about a tesla. It's a giant overpriced turd with depreciation rates that make BMWs looking like an investment.

@@ah5836 It doesn't matter if it's not a mass-produced vehicle yet or not. It is still a mass-produced vehicle because of it's pricing structure. Anyone could buy one. However not everyone can buy an exotic. Because the pricing is not-reachable and not-reasonable for the average person.

@@GHOSTSTARSCREAM i can make a car in limited numbers for $5 that doesn't mean its mass produced. and yes people have waited on waitlists for yrs for one. As of April 2024, Tesla's website lists the expected delivery time for new Cybertruck orders as 2025, including the all-wheel drive version and the Cyberbeast. However, as of January 2024, some say that new orders are being scheduled for 2027 due to a slow production timeline. In December 2023, Wall Street analysts estimated that Tesla could produce 48,500 Cybertrucks in 2024 and 78,000-230,000 in 2025.
