I’m a little surprised - no R2 flips yet?

R2
I think they've delivered like 5 vehicles thus far lol. Gotta give it multiple weeks time before people really start having them. Most people who got order invites didn't even get them til literally on June 9th, only 7 days ago. Takes time to ship cars and schedule deliveries and even then it wasn't many people.

I don’t think they have sent out that many invites to order and I believe this is the frustrating thing. Considering the amount of day 1 first 30min orderers with R1 and only 4% of reservations have been invited to order. That’s not a slow ramp that’s a processing issue. Or maybe they found an issue on produced cars and have held off on shipping.

it makes no sense that by now all day one reservations should have been invited to order.

Just got back from the Clifton Park, NY service center. They had a pre production R2 there that you could look at but couldn’t drive. Surprised at the size. Thought it would be smaller. Overall it is amazing if you ask me.
they said their first delivery is scheduled for next week

Within the next two weeks we should all theoretically have some expectation (guessing which quarter) of potential delivery. Once the first 5,000 units have been customer delivered - and we're not nearly there yet - we'll start seeing some secondary market action opening up.

Guessing first units hitting auctions might be second or third week or July, but that's just a WAG.

Almost a week in and I haven’t seen a single R2 being resold yet. That’s very surprising.
Why, you looking to buy? Asking for a friend ;)

JK of course...

I just got an invite for one of my reservations - that I won't be taking.

I just got my “you can order now” email and am literally in the process of finalizing the deal to resell it to an interested party. Northern California.

Did they say anything about when they expect a demo vehicle? I was there over the weekend and they didn't know yet.

Thank you for your service
The intent was there at the time, but my wife's major medical last year killed off all our cash, all my retirement and part of hers. Just not in the cards right now

I was just invited to order. Sorry about your situation. Hopefully things turn around for you.
