So it’s ok for Ford, GM, and other makes to punish buyers of new or limited vehicles just to flip them at higher prices?
This move is to disincentivize flippers. They must be anticipating demand to outstrip supply by alot.
This sub speaks out of both sides of its mouth on this sort of issue. When it is other makes and their highly anticipated models enthusiasts cry foul and say please stop this.
No one in this thread is saying it’s bad for Tesla to do it. They’re just making fun of this thing being extremely ugly. You’re pre-offended for something that isn’t happening.
I’m not offended. Just calling out hipocracy when I see it. This subreddit loves it when a make does this sort of thing when it’s a vehicle they love but make fun of it when it’s not a vehicle they like.
It is ugly and I don’t think it will be a beloved vehicle. But that’s besides the point.
The reasoning is coming from a different place. Other brands are trying to discourage flippers, Tesla is trying to ensure their absolute boondoggle of a vehicle only gets into the hands of their most loyal superfans.
I can find 10 in car reviews of any new hyped model from any other brand 2 weeks before they come out. This vehicle is supposed to be shipping at the end of this month and nobody who’s not a Tesla employee has actually driven it. The entire “shipping” is a dog and pony show where a handful of vehicles will get sold to loyal superfans who are told not to say anything bad about it (Which is already part of the Autopilot Beta agreement).
They’re cosplaying like it’s some super duper high in demand vehicle using the trappings of other manufacturers, when in reality it’s just another shell game to pretend this vehicle isn’t a hot mess.

It’s going to be quite some time before they can deliver any significant number of vehicles - 2025 at the earliest.

half of the comments in here are literally doing just that
