Last week, a Tesla "non-resale commitment letter" was exposed, which clearly pointed out that the owner of one or more cumulative orders to buy multiple Tesla vehicles needs to sign this commitment letter, promising not to resell to a third party within one year, and the violator pays a penalty of 20% of the vehicle's fare.
Some media asked Tesla for verification for the first time, and has received a confirmed answer, confirming the authenticity of this "non-resale commitment letter".
He introduced that the "no resale commitment letter" is a preventive measure introduced in response to the recent phenomenon of individuals buying multiple Teslas at one time on the official website.
On the surface, this move should be to prevent scalpers from booking cars at a higher price and reselling, and it is indeed safeguarding the rights and experiences of other consumers.
However, it should be noted that the letter of commitment itself may not be legal and even infringing.
According to @Boss Network, regarding the above-mentioned commitment, Lin Lihong, executive director of Beijing Quanyou Law Firm, said that the car company's clause restricting car buyers from reselling the purchased vehicles was illegal.

According to Article 240 of the Civil Code, the owner of movable property enjoys the right to possess, use, benefit from and dispose of it in accordance with law. The buyer acquires ownership of the vehicle through the sale and purchase contract and has the right to dispose of the vehicle.
This clause infringes on the owner's right to dispose of the car owner and is suspected of violating the law.
