Any options to buy my friend's ordered Y?

My friend ordered a LR with the 3rd row several months ago back when the fee was $100. His current daily driver was getting closer and closer to needed a very expensive repair so he ordered a Performance model after the fee went up to $250. Well the Performance showed up first and the LR isn't due for a couple more months. There have been about $5.5k in price increases since he first ordered the LR and I'd like to pick up his LR when it arrives versus paying more for a new order.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?

Why doesn’t he complete the purchase and you just buy it off of him at his cost? It would save you the hoops of trying to figure out how to transfer the order and risk getting stuck with the price increase.

Probably do not want to incur paying double taxes and fees.

Okay. We stopped by Tesla today and they made the process sound simple.

You call Tesla and let them know you want to change the name and address of the registration.
They'll send an email to the current account owner and you'll need to send them pictures of the front and back of the drivers license of the new buyer.
Then on delivery day tell Tesla to transfer the vehicle from original account owner to the new account owner.

So tonight we called Tesla and did the first part. I'll update once we have this confirmed.

I’ve heard stories of this happening but the new owner of the order is expected to pay the current price of the car. Make sure that’s not happening to you.

Just let the seller ask SA to change the registration info.

Try to do what has been suggested in advance, but if you are paying cash, there are no loan or insurance issues, and you should be able to walk in and have the car titled anyway you want. The person who ordered need to accompany you and be the one who makes the request.
