Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year::Tesla may agree to buy the truck back at the original price minus "$0.25/mile driven" and any damages and repairs.

This is, surprisingly, not that unusual for vehicles in high demand. It's to prevent flipping.

GM does it on certain vehicles as well:

(the C8 Corvette Z06, GMC Hummer EV, and Cadillac Escalade-V if you want to know without clicking the link.)

Real estate and Ticketmaster: "Fuck yeah, flip that shit and inflate our markets to insanity!"

Auto industry: "Fuck you, we do the inflating around here. Pay me!"

Ticketmaster owns the resale sites too. And the venue.
