        You think people who want a Cybertruck are intelligent? Or aren’t willing to pay and extra 50k to get it now, instead of having to wait a year or more to get it after deciding?

          That window has closed. People were willing to pay over sticker price for like a month after release because they wanted to be the first to have the car. Now the secondhand value has gone down to below the price of a new one.

          I don’t think that they are irrational, and that months of bad press has killed all the hype.

        Supply and demand. Whenever there is more demand than supplies, there is opportunity for scalpers and flippers to take advantage.

        Regardless what you think about the product, the manufacturer or its ceo, protection from scalpers/flippers is good consumer protection.
