Thanks for sharing. I can also probably uncouple my MXLR to another email address, and my only loss will be the 1 year premium connectivity trial.
Don't think you can move 1 car to another email address while it's just a reservation
Oh - then you can create another tesla account and transfer the MXLR to that account and keep the reservation on your current account. Or you can keep both on your account and give access for the reservation buyer for when he needs to change the reg. info & vehicle pick up and then transfer the car afterwards to his account and change your account password
You can move the Model x since it’s delivered to a new Tesla account. Sell the mY reservation with the old email etc.
I currently have 2 Tesla’s on my account. If I buy a reservation from someone who will
hand over their email, after purchase I can just add this third Tesla to my own account right?
Also, can you change the pickup location (to another state) as long as the original reservation holder hasn’t enter their registration info right? Thanks guys!

Yes to all.
Also, EDD is meaningless with an order without an location and even if it had a location - any change causes delays. It could be delivered 6-8 months from now.
As an anecdote: On Wednesday night of last week, I found a seller looking to seller their M3LR reservation for delivery in FL. The car was already within the delivery window and was waiting for him to schedule a delivery appointment for between Thursday & Saturday. I am located in MA with an NJ DL. After not getting through to anyone over the phone, I went into a local Tesla Showroom on Thursday (not a center but just mall showroom) and asked them to switch the reg details on the reservation. He switched it to my NJ info. Myself & the seller both assumed the VIN would get re-assigned as the FL delivery center told him the car was already there and was waiting for appointment scheduling. The VIN never got reassigned and a day later I got a notification about choosing a Delivery date in NJ. I picked the car up today in NJ and just drove it up to Boston (1 week and 1 day later from changing the reg. info) with no hiccups at delivery or anything. Certainly can still be done and can be done out of state as well
That certainly is a unicorn situation. When the reservation was transferred.. there was a VIN assigned? Those get assigned after production and there is a two week timeframe before it reaches the destination so you might have switch delivery locations just in time. SAs tell me VINs are usually assigned to specific areas of the country... a FL bound car usually needs to be picked up in that state or neighboring ones. Congrats though!
Agreed not the average situation - When switching the reg., the SA at the local showroom told me its possible the car still hadn't arrived in FL and would get routed to NJ but the SA in FL had told the seller 20 minutes prior that the car was already in FL...who knows. The point of the anecdote was to show that it certainly is possible to get a reservation transfer and don't necessarily believe those that say they closed all loopholes
To be clear - this order was in the sellers’s Tesla account and the seller had to “review all docs” and click accept delivery after you looked over the car? Or did you take over the entire Tesla account? (Which might still be in the original seller’s name?) Part one is registration info. The second part of delivery where you have to pay by cashier’s check or have access to the account to wire funds by Plaid.
The order was in the sellers account. Seller gave me access to the account. I first changed the account profile information to mine. Then went to the showroom and he changed the reg. info. I then changed the account email address to mine. The seller hadn't switched from "paying cash" to financing so those agreements weren't produced in his name at all - the only agreement with his name was the original order agreement which never changed. The MVPA automatically updated to mine and when I changed the payment method to financing the loan docs all had my info (as the account was essentially mine by then).
Glad it worked out in your favor. This all happens while the vin was already assigned correct?
Thanks
Perfect. I had a transfer blocked because the order was in buyer’s name but the account had my info. I more or less did the transfer as an experiment (only asked for original fee). Glad yours worked out. It takes a lot of patience from both sides to cleanup the order and registration.
