Tesla pushes "no resale commitment letter"
A few days ago, a Tesla "non-resale commitment letter" was exposed on the Internet, which required the owner of one or more cumulative orders to purchase multiple Tesla vehicles to sign a commitment not to resell to a third party within one year, and the violator paid a penalty of 20% of the vehicle fare. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Tesla confirmed the authenticity of the "non-resale commitment letter". It said that the "non-resale commitment letter" is a preventive measure in response to the recent phenomenon of individuals buying multiple Teslas at a time on the official website.
We learned that Tesla's delivery is difficult, the price has been increased successively, and the warranty has not followed the car, so that many consumers are willing to accept the order transfer. Hoarding orders only need a deposit of 1,000 yuan per vehicle, and a transfer can make a profit of tens of thousands of yuan, driven by interests, and even scalpers are determined in batches. In this regard, a lawyer said that "Tesla's 'non-resale commitment letter' restricts consumer rights, formally conforms to the standard terms, and restricts consumers from exercising ownership rights, so it is more likely to be invalid." ”
There are also many Tesla owners who have said that they hope that the "non-resale commitment letter" is true, because "scalpers are too rampant" to do so.
