Correct, they do this for vehicles with a very large waitlist of hopeful purchasers, otherwise the initial buyers could essentially just be auctioning off their purchase of a very limited model to the highest bidder. Presumably Tesla would do this only temporarily, as this is supposedly going to be a high volume vehicle.
Ford was in the news for a while doing this with their last Ford GT. Tesla isn’t the first.
is this for speciality models? looking it up Ford was only making 500 GTs
it's for the first year, so it might be about folks flipping the truck. Like sneakers or something.
