#3I believe the rationale here originally was to dissuade people from flipping Cybertrucks for profit, since there's a lot of demand and they want to fill the genuine orders first, so it's been in the agreement for a long time to not resell it, but it's still mad to make him pay 50k for a product he owns.

#4It would be nice if he did get a lawyer and we got some new case law that banned ridiculous contracts like this. But seems like he is already feeling defeated after the divorce.

If the original intent was to stop scalper (which I agree with), the agreement could have said “you’re not allowed to sell it for a profit. If you sell it at or below cost, you’re fine”.

#7I'd like to see the laws around this kind of thing changed in two ways:
1. Contracts banning resale outright should be prohibited. The strongest similar provision allowed should be a right of first refusal at the original purchase price.
2. Freedom of association should be limited to human persons. Companies as large as Tesla shouldn't have any more power to ban customers than the USPS does.

#8What size should a parking spot be? Who should pay for a larger one?
Over the last number of years, it feels like large vehicles have become more commonly used but most built infrastructure remains the same. I notice this at the city owned parking lot a couple blocks from my house - the whole thing becomes very difficult to navigate with the length and width of some modern pickup trucks/SUVs. It sounds like it's not a big enough issue in this parking lot (perhaps because it's only one large vehicle) but it would become an issue if everyone were driving a cybertruck there.
Should parking spots in parking lots be made bigger? This would probably mean fewer spots / more expensive. Should cars be split into "standard" and "XL" classes? XL spaces or lots that support XL cars could be priced accordingly. People purchasing vehicles would have a better sense of "oh this car won't be allowed in many parking spots.

then some would sell at the same price they bought plus their profit under the table.

Probably don't need new law. It looks like a textbook unenforceable penalty masquerading as liquidated damages clause.
