What is the method to buying a reservation?

I have been asking a bunch of people and no one seems to know the answer but it seems reservations are being sold anyway.
  1. Who is going first in the transaction - buyer sending over the money or the seller handing over the reservation?
  2. Is it possible to buy a reservation with registration information already entered and successfully take delivery? how?
How are you contacting Tesla? The customer service number doesn't work, chatting is never available, and putting in a contact form request is never replied back to.
 
1. Depends on what's comfortable for everyone. Some folks alleviate this by doing the transfer in person.
2. By default, no. The registration will need to change.

Tesla will not support. It's not allowed per their internal procedures. As such, risks exists with this workaround.

1. No one will give their reservation without the payment first. It's a risk for both parties to do one before the other. I would say the safest is to do it together in person or via a Google Meet so you can both see each other and transact live
2. No

Don't even mention this to Tesla. You will get banned if they find your reservation number. Just do the account takeover and make changes yourself.
