With already reaching a half a million pre-orders is there monetary value in your early reservation?
By the time we get to 2021/2022 and start a production there could be 750, 000 to a million plus orders.
Has it been done or is it even possible to sell your reservation or have someone pay you a premium and purchase your vehicle at pickup? Just seems like such a revolutionary vehicle was such a huge demand already before the real specs and performance gets out that there will be some creative purchases made out there by people who can't wait.

Selling your low reservation number? Interesting idea. How much would that be worth and at what point?
I've ordered two and intend to purchase both. A tri-motor and a dual. I'll keep the one I prefer and sell the other. Not speculatively to make a profit as I've no idea if it'll fetch a premium but I expect it will at least retain full value albeit with minimal miles.
Once it's on the road and people see the Cybertruck there will always be someone who doesn't want to wait. And very likely more than one person, so probably willing to pay a premium. Remains to be seen.

Oh dang, That means you Yahoo's with several reservations are speculators and anybody with multiple reservations is still going to get the trucks and resell them. Darn I was hoping for cancellations in front of me.

Enter agreement for them to provide funds. Buy truck and resale after receipt. However, better to have bought stock instead.

The second truck is a revenue producing money machine, a robotaxi that everyone will want to drive/rent/ride in? I plan to dispatch my second truck to a nearby city.

Talked to sales they will not honor it. A guy bought one to sell and it wouldn't be honored if i purchased it. Do not buy one.

What wouldn't be honored? Once you buy a vehicle, you're free to do with it as you see fit. Unless I just woke up in Russia.

Some people were at one point trying to sell reservations which aren't transferable. Selling the truck after purchase is just a resale, but you'll still have to pay taxes and fees on the vehicle, so the resale amount for a profit would have to be for the total cost of the Cybertruck, taxes, fees, and then the amount you want to profit from it. Then that person is still going to have to pay taxes on it again.

someone rich might buy it, but it would have to be early on or someone might sell for slightly less profit.

Also, if they find out you intend to resell it, they can refuse to sell it to you.

The reservation contract binds you into those terms. If you violate them, they do not have to sell you trucks.

It would be fraud to buy a reservation for resale.
