Is there value in your early reservation

[Coolbreeze704]

With already reaching a half a million pre-orders is there monetary value in your early reservation?
By the time we get to 2021/2022 and start a production there could be 750, 000 to a million plus orders.
Has it been done or is it even possible to sell your reservation or have someone pay you a premium and purchase your vehicle at pickup? Just seems like such a revolutionary vehicle was such a huge demand already before the real specs and performance gets out that there will be some creative purchases made out there by people who can't wait.

Going rate, 500,000 plus an ice cream cone. Anything can be monetized. I want the truck more.

Selling your low reservation number? Interesting idea. How much would that be worth and at what point?
I've ordered two and intend to purchase both. A tri-motor and a dual. I'll keep the one I prefer and sell the other. Not speculatively to make a profit as I've no idea if it'll fetch a premium but I expect it will at least retain full value albeit with minimal miles.
Once it's on the road and people see the Cybertruck there will always be someone who doesn't want to wait. And very likely more than one person, so probably willing to pay a premium. Remains to be seen.

Oh dang, That means you Yahoo's with several reservations are speculators and anybody with multiple reservations is still going to get the trucks and resell them. Darn I was hoping for cancellations in front of me.

Tesla reservations are non tranferable

Enter agreement for them to provide funds. Buy truck and resale after receipt. However, better to have bought stock instead.

The second truck is a revenue producing money machine, a robotaxi that everyone will want to drive/rent/ride in? I plan to dispatch my second truck to a nearby city.

All questions asked can be answered: No.

Talked to sales they will not honor it. A guy bought one to sell and it wouldn't be honored if i purchased it. Do not buy one.

reservation numbers mean nothing to Tesla especially if you order the Tri motor
