It is reported that the non-resale commitment letter writes that the owner promises not to transfer or actually transfer any vehicle to any third party within one year after picking up the car, and if the owner violates the commitment, he needs to pay a penalty of 20% of the opening fare of each defaulted vehicle within 7 days.
In this regard, according to the Red Star Capital Bureau, Tesla staff said that this "non-resale commitment letter" is a preventive measure introduced in response to the recent phenomenon of individuals buying multiple Teslas at a time on the official website. The purpose is to maintain the fair and transparent car purchase experience of the majority of consumers, and truly protect the rights and interests of consumers, so it will not have any impact on the normal car purchase and overall experience of ordinary consumers. Tesla staff also said that the move is to prevent scalpers from reselling after booking cars in advance.
