Recently, a letter of commitment from Tesla “Do not resell” was leaked on the Chinese online community. The letter revealed that customers who place one or more cumulative orders to purchase multiple Tesla vehicles will need to sign a “No Resale Commitment Letter”.
The letter forced the customer to promise not to resell it to a third party for a year. Violators will be fined 20% of the original cost of the vehicle. According to a Tesla employee, the move is intended to prevent dealers from “reselling the vehicle” after a reservation has been made. However, Tesla’s customer service and sales staff claim they have no knowledge of the “No Resale Commitment Letter”.
The “No Resale Commitment Letter” is a measure to prevent individuals from buying multiple Teslas at once on the official website.
The purpose of the pledge letter is to maintain a fair and transparent car buying experience for the majority of consumers. This also helps to protect the rights and interests of consumers. Therefore, it will not have any effect on the normal car purchase and the overall experience of the average consumer.
Tesla raised prices three times in a row within a week, and all Model 3 and Model Y models increased in price. Due to hot orders and limited production capacity, Tesla’s delivery time had to be extended to 4-5 months. According to the official Tesla website, the current delivery time of the Tesla Model 3 is 16-20 weeks. For other models like Tesla Model Y, delivery time is 10-20 weeks.
According to Tesla’s team in China, the company will accelerate the installation of high-capacity charging stations in China.
