2022 - Model S LR Refresh (yoke), Red exterior, White interior, 19" rims (reservation)

Well that's the problem. No one even offers that. They just want it for free.

When you ask too much people walk. If you offered split the difference you probably would have sold it by now.
I don't think anyone expects you to hand it over for free.

Then just split the difference plus tax savings. The buyer is allowing you to essentially leverage a reservation you don't want and making it worth something. You need each other. So split it.

I'm looking for a deal like this and wouldn't deal with either of you. Not the kind of person I want to deal with if things get in trouble.

That's fine. I didn't post mine for sale. Nobody needs to "deal with you". And I said that would be the "nice" thing to do if the OP wanted to, but his price is higher as is his right as a seller. As for me, I want to pivot to an X and nobody is going to "give me" a split of their price difference either just to help me out. I'm going to have to suck it up and pay $15K more than folks who ordered a year ago. But meanwhile, I'm "wrong" if I want to sell my reservation for $10-$15K to make up for that and engineer the prior lower price for myself?

These money don't matter, if I had it I'd give it away for free, but you're ripping me off posts are contradictory.

Lastly, there is almost no way he loses money picking up a $95K car for $80K and selling it, unless the market drastically turns. But there is a risk, which is why there is even any discount at all to sell a res (to save him from that risk and work he'd have to do).

Again, no one has offered that...if you read everyone's comment they expect me to give it up for free because I'm taking "advantage" over the system.

By popular demand. I will split the difference betwen the prices if the paperwork is signed and paid by today.

Good Luck, seriously. BTW someone in another thread suggested how to do this. You add buyers Service Center and Name to the order and it will get delivered to buyers location. If you do it soon enough.

So we’re talking about $7,500 to you, then I buy the car from Tesla…right? If so, shoot me a PM. I’m around tonight.

Yes, but you'll have to fly out to California. They will not ship at this point.

I’m going to be down there on 12/31 - 1/2.

@domodan Did you actually get this car? How was the process?

 

[domodan]

I did not.

Available? Highly interested

sold?

Ha! Look, the practice of ordering a new sought after car and then selling at a premium is as old as the Model T. Dealers are doing it now with many EVs.
So, it is not really fair to beat the guy up about it. Either you want the car early and can afford the premium or you don't. Maybe you can afford but would rather wait. Me? I don't buy green bananas. If I was in the market for a new S and I lived in SoCal, I would go for it.

As it is, I am delighted to be satisfying my Tesla desires with a Model Y in June - if all goes well in Shanghai ( or are the coming from Giga Shangri-La ?).

All the best to you Model S guys. It's a lovely car - enjoy!
