This is a smart move by Tesla. Considering it will take years to get through producing just the pre-orders, this avoids the malcontent generated amongst the people by seeing CT’s flipped foe $200k by the few lucky who get them first. It keeps pricing from ever being an issue why Tesla ramps production.
Remember when people were flipping model 3’s during the Covid lockdown? Some were buying them up and and it was faster to buy from them than Tesla could deliver new production to the masses. That was ‘No Bueno’ for Tesla.
I think a year is too long though, some people might fall on hard times and need to sell their truck, or they might need to move abroad, or have a multitude of reasons for needing to sell. 6 months would be better, IMO.
