The goal he most seems to be in is turning X into a social media pay-pal/finance app thing. Which Hahahahah, the fact he tweeted about being confused why goverment all had a bunch of regulations around finances stuff is a good indication there's no way that's happening any time soon.

Even by the almost non existent bit coin exchange standards anything he could get running on X would be sketchy as gently caress.

I will not defend elon but "you can't resell our new car for a bit" is a clause that's pretty common, but usually for actually cool supercars. I know Ford did that with the GT40 mk2 and the dumb electric mustang and I think Ferrari does it too

Instead, lmao at Tesla thinking they have the same pull as any of those companies that do this poo poo

Carmakers do that so they can capture the entire audience who's interested in that limited-run car. If they're only going to run the production for a year they don't want resellers capturing some of the potential sales they could have gotten over that period.

The Cybertruck is (presumably) not a limited run vehicle, and its initial deliveries won't be incredibly numerous, as is always the case with a new line from Tesla. So it's not like this could even be a trick to try and squeak in some extra revenue for their first quarter it's available. I'm sure they'll sell out no matter what initially.

All this really does is lower the value to the consumer by limiting their alienation rights to the asset.

But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.

Giugiaro told NPR over email.

"When you step outside the norms, it's almost always seen as a provocation," Giugiaro said. "It happens in all fields, from furniture to cooking, etc. Everyone wants to distinguish themselves; it's a market necessity, and the Cybertruck will surely be successful, I'm sure of it. I'm convinced it will find its admirers."
