How fucking dumb are these asshats? Calling boycotts of a shitty product which is first amendment protected activity, illegal? Super dumb Promising to make even more of these cars when his company already struggles to sell them and they sit in lots collecting dust for years? Then promising that these cars will either be self driving or they wont drive at all, which is his way of saying he will finally succeed in delivering FSD after over a half a decade of continuously failed promises to deliver, in his own extremely moronic grasp of the english language.
This is nothing more than a fucking dumpster fire fueled with weapons grade plutonium levels of stupidity.
Doesn’t that break the ‘first-sale doctrine’ to limit someone’s ability to on-sell a product they own?
It is ridiculous. i know some luxury high end sports automobile retailers have this stipulation like ferrari, buggati, rolls royce, bently, but those are highly desirable vehicles and they want to limit the second hand market to increase the value of their product for better reasons than what musk is trying to do. He just wants to prevent mass sell offs of the shit boxes teslas are. If people who want to get rid of their cars but cant because they will be sued to oblivion by a company belonging to the (once) richest man on earth then Most tesla owners will end up not selling their shit box dumpster fires. I mean I definitely wont be owning an ev anytime soon for multiple reasons. Number one they are death traps(people have been trapped inside and cooked alive in multiple lithium battery fire incidents) plus the mining of lithium is not inly ecologically unfriendly and unsustainable but it is a form Of extremely exploitative resource extraction which is why there is only one lithium mine (in Nevada i believe)in the us and there is a struggle to open any other lithium vanes to extraction mining in the us(the largest one being in Maine if I remember correctly?) but there is a bottleneck within lithium battery production that many ev proponents are ignoring. We would have tk increase the production of lithium batteries by over 1000% just to meet the needs of the automotive industry to filly transition to EV and this doesn’t even account for the cordless tooling industry, lawn care tooling like riding lawnmowers chain saws etc since a vast majority of pros in that industry still heavily rely on 2 stroke combustion tech to get the job done. Its just completely non feasible. We really need to dump research and development into improving solar power production and efficiency. There is a german company that has a viable solar car called Sono, its not perfect but this is the kind of tech we need to develop and invest in. Not space karen’s grifting schemes. Tesla is a fucking dumpster fire and allowing such a decrepit corrupt company to steer the behemoth of innovation that is the future of automotive and all high torque machine required industries for the next century is just so ass backwards dumb it isn’t funny in any way. Its concerning and frightening.
If you accept that stipulation as a condition of sale they can sure you for beach of contract. See Ford vs John Cena https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a21622751/the-flip-that-flopped-john-cena-and-ford-settle-gt-resale-lawsuit/
