Out of state allowed?
Great deal to snag a 7 seater Model Y. Worked with OP previously on a deal and can personally vouch that he’s legit.

I will sell you the Brooklyn bridge for $250. Just like the OP here, I do not own it, and do not have any contractual right to transfer/sell it.

Terrible analogy. Unlike the Brooklyn Bridge, the next person will gain the right to legally acquire this particular vehicle.
Call it a lead or a finder’s fee or whatever.

Especially OP paid this fee he’s asking to be reimbursed.
Isn’t the $250 order fee part of every Y order? So it’s not like whoever is taking it over is paying extra… nor is the OP “making money on the deal”.

I think OP has listed the old prices…
7 seater is $4000 but the base price is $10k less
Tesla used to be very strict about transferring reservations but I don’t think they care anymore. I have seen people done out of state transfers.

I appreciate what OP is doing here but I don’t think a Tesla buyer spending 60k is going through the effort to assume a reservation to save $500

Correct, but there are many easy workarounds that have been successful (I’ve personally transferred two after they “stopped” transfers
The appeal would be skipping the line (particularly on a 7 seater) + guaranteed qualification for the $7500 tax credit (might be reduced on Teslas in March I believe)

Is this coming in as a 2022 or 2023?
It’s more like saving $600 (pre-$500 bump and $100 lower destination fee) and guaranteeing the $7,500 EV tax credit. No guarantee if you order a 7 seater today it’ll be ready in time to pickup before March ends. Taking over my reservation would be locking in a early Feb delivery and the full tax credit as well. The slightly cheaper MSRP is just a bonus.
Basically, for anyone that wants to take it over, here’s what the process will be:
- You confirm you want to take it over and can take delivery in Owings Mills, MD.
- I hand over the Gmail account the reservation is tied to (it’s a throwaway I created specifically for this reservation) and Tesla account login info.
- You access the accounts, change passwords, whatever, and then fill in all the registration info/pre-delivery tasks.
- Once you take delivery, shoot me the 250 via whatever payment service. I’m not even gonna ask for the 250 up front. If someone wants to screw me over and not pay up, that’s pretty shitty, but that’s life. Lol
It might even be possible to change the delivery location to another Tesla store, but that’s nothing I can guarantee.
Also, after everything is done, you can transfer the VIN to another email account so you don’t have to use the one I handed over.

Just confirmed VIN is a 2023 built in Fremont.

Thanks for the good word! Hopefully you got the 3 fixed up and still not waiting for parts. Lol
No problem – GLWS! Got it fixed, but didn’t quite feel the same (lot of new rattles that wasn’t trim/panels), so ended up selling to Carmax near the peak of the market for a small profit. The second 3 I got was a rattle box with horrendous interior trim gaps straight off the lot, so that one got sold as well… Keeping an eye out for a used Model X, but pricing on those (especially newer ones) are still wild
OP is basically walking away with just his refunded order fee. I can see why some are skeptical but I also see OP’s offer as a gurantee you will have one within the coming weeks. Tesla says you should be able to get it in time if you order for the 7500, but no gurantee, and as someone who ordered a MYP, it kept getting pushed over and over and over…so you’re locking in the 7500 tax credit by working with the OP. I think its very fair of him to basically get his $250 back.
OP, sorry if I missed it but why do you no longer want it?
Basically since the resale value of my 3 tanked, no longer in a good position to trade up. So someone else can take it!

2023s do not look promising even with the ev tax break. Autolender offered $37k.
GLWT!
OP, do you know if delivery has to be taken in MD or can it be in CA?
Pretty straight forward
