The difference with Ferrari is that if you're a real Ferrari buyer, you will want to be a valued customer so you can have a shot at buying another (new) Ferrari in the future. As there are more customers than cars, always now, Ferrari can be selective in who they sell to. And with exotic cars now being mostly appreciating assets, it really is a privilege to be able to buy one new.

Tesla is a very different story. While their new models are in higher demand than supply, they are not appreciating assets. And Tesla does not have a "great automotive history" as Ferrari does. It's quite possible that in 20 years, Tesla will be gone or on par with a typical car company in terms of brand value. There may be another hot electric mfg which produces the new models that people want. In fact, that is likely to be the case within 10 years.

The other big difference is that if you buy a cyber truck you'll be the laughing stock of your town. Tesla know this, and know that everyone is going to want to get rid of it as soon as possible when kids start pointing and laughing at them in the street.

Or kids will want to test the strength of the windows...

For a good time, look for videos of people shattering car windows with small bits of ceramic (like from a spark plug insulation ring). It's hard to believe.

I wonder how the Tesla truck windows would do...

It's also worth mentioning that Ferrari also asks you to simply call them first, before selling it (within that first year). I've never bought a ferrari but it seems like you have some options depending on your needs/situation/etc.
