Sale of Cybertruck Ordering Position

[easytravelman]

With an order number that "low", you'd probably be better off buying the truck and listing it on carsandbids or something. Rivians were still selling for $20k over asking 6 months after release.

Thank you for that. Problem is in CA that's 10% of purchase price to state.

My two favorite quotes..."Coffins don't have pockets"! And "You never see a Uhaul following a hearse"

Buy the truck and enjoy it!..sell the other cars.

Also, the full self driving will most likely prolong your driving privileges if you are "up there" in age...I had to take the keys away from my father last year and it was not a good experience for both of us...



...

Can't argue with any of those points.

You can't sell your place in line.

When its time to register it would be the other party if I decide to do it or not. or like one member suggested just buy it and sell it. My wife says doesn't matter I waited this long at least let it sit in the driveway and maybe sleep it in a few nights. Maybe I could have the Model X do a light show and really give my neighbors a treat.

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed when they realize Tesla isn't going to allow them to sell their place in line. It's no different from scalping tickets for a game/concert.

How did you find your spot in the order pool?

I would not be disappointed. This is just a thought that came to me for several reasons. As I said in earlier posts. Virtually every high demand vehicle with a long wait list has been sold for a premium in many cases. Look at how the dealers add to the price when vehicles are hard to get. i also ordered the cyberlandr camper, in case you have not seen that take a look. My two son's would luv to have the cybertruck.

Keyword - "dealers" They are the ones who brokered the wait lists and had the factory allocations. Tesla doesn't have dealers. Furthermore, you have not 'ordered' anything, you have a reservation that will not transfer. I don't know why you keep thinking you can sell your place in line.

Just how old are you? You have a bunch of diseases that are causing you worry of dropping dead in the next year or two? You have a secret bank vault in the casket so you can take it with you?

I ask because I see way too many people who tell me, "Had I known I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself."

You can't take money to the great beyond with you. If buying a CT (and you are guessing it will be $100K) will cause you to live on Ramen noodles 5 times a week, then don't get it. Or any new vehicle. Live modestly and save that money to live on instead of buying a vehicle you don't need.

You do not have to pay cash for it, either. You can always get a loan and pay it off over time to keep more $ in your account in case you need the funds.

If, however, you are just worried you will not get the maximum enjoyment of the vehicle over your remaining time before you shuffle off this mortal coil; then what are you going to do with that money? What will give you maximum enjoyment?

None of us knows when we will depart. A 30 year old with a #50 reservation could die of a COVID infection a week after taking possession of his Cybertruck. My dad was given 5 years after a diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis with the "worst lungs I have ever seen," according to the lung doctor. He outlived my step-mom and carried on another 20 years. You could live 10-15 or more years. What are you waiting for? Have you given up?

Life is for the living. Money is accumulated to make life easier and to be enjoyed. Use the CT for however long you have. Enjoy it. What other vehicle or possession will cause you an ear-to-ear grin everytime you look at it or get in it as it gets better with over the air updates?

Unless this is just a socially acceptable way to profit off of your low reservation number....

You do you. I'm old. I know what I am going to do.

Like you said, you can’t take it with you, so why does he want to take a profit? Just get the reservation money back and enjoy the ICE truck he loves.

Sorry, this is not allowed here.

Please argue.

This would be like going to a market in Istanbul and accepting the price offered by the seller without haggling for a lower price. Would completely offend the seller.

 

[GlockandRoll]

Those buyers are in for a rude awakening.

No one is "selling" their reservations for $10k. They are offering them for that price with no takers.

Excellent argument. The members have changed my mind. But, I should say I have two boys 50 and 51 with four grandchildren so while I can't take it with me, every little bit will help them and their struggles. But heck they can always sleep in the cyberlandr camper if they become homeless ( humor).

I thought about that but then I realized a couple of things. First, you were talking about all of the other toys you have, such as a Model X, so I knew that you have never been hurting for money. Second, with you nearing the end of life (as you say), any children or grandchildren you have either have their lives settled or never will, so that is not an issue. Finally, I was raised to take care of myself, and have, so this whole idea of leaving huge sums of money to descendents kind of goes against that idea. If you have that much to leave, leave it to a good cause.

I'm on that, had to take care of myself train too. But for me, that's why I want to be able to help take care of my family. Cause I would like to make life easier on my family.

Now if I was bill gates or Elon or something I would leave them a sensible amount and then put towards a good cause.

Help but not carry.
