Doesn’t this run afoul of the first sale doctrine?
Probably not in the US if you agree to it. Also it’s only for the first year, and you can sell it. You just have to give Tesla the right of first refusal, at the final paid price - $0.25 per mile driven and any repair costs needed to meet their used sales specifications.
Not a lawyer, but first sale doctrine seems to apply to copyrights, not goods. Is there another version?
Also, I am not defending the practice discussed in the article. I disagree with it completely, but I have a genuine interest in the law generally as a hobby.
