Depends. If the registration info is populated, then very hard to do. You would need a Tesla advisor to force a back-end registration update.
I have my order placed on 1/14.
No VIN assigned yet.
Friend of mine placed the order, and he is getting delivery on 1/23/2023 @ 1300 hours.
We both ordered the identical vehicle.
He changed his mind.
Is there a way for me to get his reservation transferred to me?
Since the VIN is not assigned to me, will I get my deposit refunded?
Thanks,

Can anyone confirm simply modifying the Tesla account details to a "transferee" is enough to assume ownership of the order? The VIN has not yet been assigned. Seems like this should suffice.
Hi,
There is a guy locally who is trying to sell his model y reservation.
He said he will give me his tesla account with the reservation on it, I can change the password, but not the email address, not until I took delivery of the car. He will help me with registration, title, insurance and everything else that is needed.
Is this a scam? Is there anything I need to watch out for or do to make sure I don't get scam?
Thanks in advance.

If you don't control the email address then all it takes is this guy doing forgot password and changing it. Sounds like a scam to me; or at least not worth it.
If Tesla detects that the reservation has been traded/sold they will cancel the reservation.
Tesla periodically has inventory Model Y vehicles available for immediate purchase. Your Tesla sales advisor can assist you by matching you to an inventory vehicle.
There are also a large number of used Tesla Model Y vehicles available. That would be one way to begin driving a Tesla vehicle as soon as you sign on the line.

Hi,
Inherently, no, its not, since its not something supported by Tesla. Its very much a your mileage may vary type thing. I moved your thread into the one thread we have here on reservation transfer stuff. Read through here and see if this is something you are interested in.
What if he only gets paid after I took delivery of the car, is there another way he can scam me?
There is no existing inventory of model y near me, i am checking everyday. This is why I opt to go this way.
This guy claims VIN has be assigned, so I can get the car delivered in 1-2 weeks.
I can't advise except to state I would not do this due too much risk of being ripped off.
Get him to go with you to a title agency and put the money in an escrow account.
Even then if he doesn’t hand over the email address you’ll need him to transfer the vehicle to your app from his like it was a private party sale
All the info Tesla has on my account are:
- My name - editable
- My address - blank
- Payment info used to pay the $250 deposit - editable
- Contact number - editable
- Email - editable
- Driver's license - blank
- VIN - unassigned
You’re good, worst case they’ll cancel the order and you’ll lose the $250. Which uou’d lose either way.
My post was merged into this thread. I was asking in my post what's preventing me from transferring my order to someone else like a family member (or anyone really), and just have them pay me the $250, so Tesla doesn't steal it. Why does everyone say you forfeit the $250, when all account info can be changed?
It’s never been “officially” supported. Back in 2022 Tesla cancelled transfers of reservations after the $10k price hike, especially if they were “sold”, but doesn’t seem to be aggressively doing that these days. Several people have posted saying the transfers were successful recently.
Tesla doesn’t want a secondary market for obvious reasons.
