Does anyone know the process for transferring a reservation to a family member. Hoping to hear back from people that have actually been through the process. how to contact the right people at Tesla, how long it took before the transfer was available to the new person, any other hoops that you had to jump through.

Thanks for the insight.

Hi - I was told to build the car under your reservation and then when delivery time comes, they can transfer the car to the new owner (family). My brother just built his car yesterday under my account/reservation, and delivery in a couple of weeks. He updated his registration on my account and put down his address. I'll let you know if any other updates but was told this was the way to proceed.

Hi, Any update on you brother Tesla 3 built under your account with updating the user info as his? It sounds like you don't have to anything. Appreciate very much!
 
I did same for my brother.
He had to be added to my account
(Currently 3 Tesla’s on my app)
Once he got his reg, he had to email to Tesla and they will take off my account and put onto his.
Here is process:

I'll 2nd it taking about a month to get it transferred out of another account. As long as you guys trust each other to be able to totally spy on/control the other car, it works just fine. It did move a week before receiving the email saying they did it, and 2 weeks after them saying it'll happen shortly.
