If I was buying something, literally anything, and the people I am buying from make me sign a thing that said I couldn't sell the thing I am buying for X period of time after buying it, that would be a major red flag to me that perhaps this product is actually a huge piece of shit because they're already worried I will try to get rid of it within X amount of time.

It’s fairly common for limited run supercars and meant to dissuade scalpers. Still silly, but there’s precedent

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago (6 children)

i mean, anyone who buys a supercar is kinda inherently a dick

[–] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can help confirm this. I want a super car but I'm too poor.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

For a lot of people the only thing holding them back from being dicks sadly is not having too much money.

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What if I think it’d be cool to have a supercar, but the only thing holding me back is the money, but I’m not a dick? I just think they’re neat, but in the event that I’d have enough to afford one, I’d probably still go with something practical. I’ll never have that kind of money anyway, so this is all purely hypothetical.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

No, if you got the money to buy a super car you'd become a dick. I've seen it happen. Metaphorphasis and all.

Yeah honestly I wish more products had laws like this. Or, actually, the rule should be you can't sell it at a higher price within a certain time frame, because that's a better indicator of scalping.

I've been wanting to buy one of the B580 GPU's intel released, but as soon as there's stock it immediately gets bought out and resold on amazon at a 150$ markup. I can't think of any other rule that would effectively stop this behavior.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It would have been nice if they had done that with PS5s or concert tickets. It's less about being forced to keep a crappy item and more about not artificially inflating prices on it (by buying out the stock and reselling).

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

That argument would make sense if anybody was actually scalping swasticars, but they’re currently piling up and rusting away unsold. They really put the cart before the horse.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

So what they said way the contract won't let them sell within a year. So they got this recently. There's no way you couldn't know about Musk being a shit this recently, so fuckem, you gave the Nazi money.

[–] stevegiblets@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Even before the nazi shit buying one of these shitcans was a terrible idea. get fucked.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That last part is so dumb. How on earth do you not realize you are buying into a scam pyramid scheme type thing with something like that in the contract.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

No one ever accused tesla owners of being smart

[–] CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bought the car just to get attention and you're getting the attention. I don't see the problem. You got exactly what you wanted. It's a fuck ugly car that's shit quality. You bought it just because you wanted to be noticed. Well, play dumb games, win dumb prizes.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Buy the ticket, take the ride

[–] arc@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I do feel sorry for Tesla owners - pre 2025. People bought Teslas in good faith believing this company was heralding green, emissions free vehicles. Which it more or less did. They weren't expecting the CEO would out himself as a Nazi even if there were clues he was a terrible piece of shit. Being an asshole is one thing but Musk out-Henry Ford'ed Henry Ford.

So if you're going to discriminate, target >= 2025 owners where this is common knowledge, not those before. That said, the Cybertruck is and was a fucking terrible vehicle and deserves criticism on its own awfulness outside of any political dimension.

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

I mostly agree, but I'd set the cutoff date sometime around 2023, maybe up until 2024 for someone completely checked out of the Internet and/or Elon's bullshit. It's part of why the CT is targeted so much in this way, but not the model 3 or S. There are a lot of people who just wanted an electric vehicle when Tesla looked like one of the more compelling options (mostly due to marketing than actual features/reliability but what can you do about that in hindsight).

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was mask off long before 2025

[–] Slayan@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

He threw a car into space in 2018 for the lulz.. Dude was nuts long before 2025.

Also elon is not tesla, even if he want you to believe he is. Don't feel bad if you own an electric car, unless it's the swasticar.

[–] groet@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

Elon is not Tesla but Tesla absolutely is Elon. Tesla might be able to survive elon, but if Tesla goes bankrupt, elon will loose a huge chunk of his power. He is the "richest" man only because of incredibly overinflated Tesla stock.

Everything that huts Tesla is good for democracy, freedom and the whole world!

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Musk was randomly accusing people of being a pedo YEARS before the cybertruck was released. No sympathy. User error for agreeing to that contract.

[–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Not random people, but people doing a good job and making him look bad.

[–] Gort@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

All other things considered, that car just looks laughably shit. Idiots and their money...

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like their fault for being stupid enough to buy something you aren't allowed to sell for a year.

That's a red flag.

[–] finkrat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Never heard of having to sign a contract like that for a simple vehicle purchase, that is insane. Wonder if they implemented that after the string of "obvious lack of quality assurance testing" type failures popping up on social media

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It also would not be legally enforcable in most countries, but I guess in the US it's Yeehaw law, so whatever the big corpo says goes.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even if that weren't a part of the contract; do you think anyone wants to buy a Cyber Truck!?!

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Insuring it will be an absolute nightmare. The insurance companies dont care if you bought it cheap.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Of course I feel sad for them. The people of New Orleans deserve better than having swasticars in their midst.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This guy has the perfect out to set it on fire and scam the insurance company out of money and they chose this. 🙄

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Go fasc lose cash.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

A little bit... there's definitely a few people that bought a Swastikar that didn't know it was a nazi car. Generally speaking, those people need to pull their heads out of their asses, and perhaps this will serve as a catalyst.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Sorry, no sympathy. I have some sympathy for the Tesla owners who bought theirs years ago before Musk went completely mask off. But Musk has been an overt Nazi since the first cybertruck was released. Do you know what you call an Apartheid baby that platforms and massively promotes Nazis in the name of "free speech" while censoring other voices (see 'cis' as a slur). You call them a Nazi. Musk has been dealing in overt racism, malignant transphobia, and eugenics for years now. If you simply didn't care about this, and still gave that many $100k of your money? I'm sorry, but you just gave $100k to a man you knew was a Nazi. You're a literal Nazi sympathizer. Or, at best, you're a person who cares so little about fighting Nazis that you will willingly give the nation's most prominent Nazi a hundred grand.

So yes, it is absolutely is fair to judge people who bought a cybertruck. They're Nazi sympathizers. I don't know if I would personally engage in such vandalism. But if I was on a jury with such a case before me, I would certainly be practicing jury nullification. Some paint or flat tires is a fraction of what a car like that deserves. That thing should be burned to ashes. That is what should really be done to Nazi symbols like the cybertruck. Here in 2025, if you are driving a cybertruck. There is no way for you to have that vehicle without having every chance in the world to see buying it directly supports Nazis. Every cybertruck is already a rolling swastika.

Whoopsie! My finger slipped on my trigger 21 times!

[–] swampwitch@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you really talking about murdering someone over a can of spray paint?

[–] Lemmy_boy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah you don't deserve to live if you commit such degenerate acts. If we tolerate this behavior it will spiral into assault cases and even worse.

[–] swampwitch@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And you don't think randomly shooting people won't lead to retaliation either?

[–] Lemmy_boy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No because they're a bunch of cowards that lurk at night to destroy your property

[–] swampwitch@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You describing them like some cheeky mythological creature tickles me.

[–] theonetruejason@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Be careful with the poor man, he is very clearly way the hell of his meds. Read the rest of his posts, he needs help and pity.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's how you successfully boycott a product

[–] Lemmy_boy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

This is not boycotting, this is assaulting innocent people, but obviously the democrats can't understand that.

[–] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

From a purely legal perspective, I'm curious if the contract would hold up in court, considering there is a concerted campaign of vandalism against the cars.

[–] satans_methpipe@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Haha haha haha haha haha

Haha haha

Hahahshhshshs

[–] OccamsRazer@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

If you vandalize a random strangers car, then you are in the wrong.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Imagine encouraging vandalism at the property of others

I'm just waiting for you guys to keep this up until it's too late and then realize why people think y'all are unhinged psychopaths.
