      Ofc it wouldn’t. It’s very illegal, but Tesla knows this. They’re using it as a threat to control what the buyers should do.

      And also, you have rights in the EU. You can’t sue people as a multi mega corp for nothing.

        You can’t sue people for nothing in the US either. They have a few laws. - You’re allowed to try but it’ll get kicked out of court.

        It’s all bark and no bite, if anyone actually tried it they wouldn’t be able to do anything. As long as the price is paid off Tesla don’t own the vehicle so they have no rights over it.

          Getting to the point where you get it kicked out of court will still cost you enough to ruin you financially though. So it’s a great deterrent.

          So yeah, you can sue for anything. But even if you know you’d never win the lawsuit, you can tie the other person up in court and waste their time and money.

            If you sue for too little, the case will get summary judgement, but that doesn’t really seem like a risk in this case unless there is a specific law that makes this clause unenforceable.

      It’s legal if it’s in the sales contract. Usually there is a timeframe.

      You should look into Ferrari and their rules. They are even crazier than Tesla for things like this.
