    Obviously. Doesn’t change that this is “normal”

    What is not “normal” is that, like all of musk’s companies, they manage to fuck up even the most trivial of PR wins.

    Gallant would either buy the truck back (maybe minus a “restocking” fee) and use it for parts or replace enough parts they can call it “new” and re-sell it. Or they would coordinate with an influencer they trust to favor them and broker the deal

    Goofus tells the cusomer to go fuck themselves and assume they will win on twitter.

      It isn’t normal. Toyota doesn’t ban you from resale, Ferrari does. Tesla isn’t comparable to Ferrari, and drawing that comparison only serves to normalize this lunacy. That’s the point I was making about that. The stans will punish themselves, and I’ll chuckle sensibly at it, but normal consumers getting duped into this kind of BS isn’t acceptable.
