Hmm.. I am not sure if many Rivian reservation holders are living the cloud asking for that much. It's just a reservation. Not a car. If I want to add 30k.. I'll just place an order and wait and enjoy my riding my MY until then. lol
But the new pricing on the R1T/R1S are 20% higher than pre-order pricing so you may as well drive your Model Y.

Question: Looks like you placed this order today with Tesla. Why can't someone else just do that on their own if they really want a Model Y. Am I missing something?
No. My order was placed in Sept 2021. The attached picture shows today's date because I just made a specs change. If you place an order today- based price is $62,990. You can go Tesla website and see it for yourself.

I doubt you'll get any takers on this considering the telsa rerservation you have was made today. And secondly, the person not willing to take it would be losing out on the price difference on taking delivery then selling it.

If you want the vehicle, you're going to have to sweeten the deal with something closer to the price difference between the old price and new price to even stand a chance of enticing people off their reservation.

You will be lucky if you get someone to trade an R1T for your Model Y plus $50k cash.
Hmm.....Living on the cloud much?

Too many trolls here.. Tired of living on the cloud waiting around?

Thanks for the feedback!

My MYLR order wasn't made today. I am not aware that many rivian reservation holders are not aware of the current pricing on MY. My order was made in Sept 2021 hence the old based pricing of $53,990. Order shows today's date due to current specs change. I will update in my post.

Also- I am looking for a R1T RESERVATION- not the car itself. Everyone is treating it as if i am looking to swap car to car.

Point is that many folks have been waiting for a while, and for the next 2 years, the supply will be highly constrained.

Most folks here currently have $100k specced trucks priced for under $80k due to the price rollback for existing reservations made prior to 3/1. That's why many will not be willing to do a straight swap. The best recommendation is to make a reservation and wait for the 2024/2025 delivery.

Its so funny/interesting that posts like this have been popping up so much. Whats crazy is none of these people seem to know much about making a reasonable deal. They don’t think beyond their own desire to have a car and the ironic thing is their very begging here shows that they are the ones that have very little on the negotiating table. As well the fact they chose here, an unofficial forum dedicated to enthusiasts of just this one vehicle platform, why would anyone spending their time here value their reservation so low?

A recent R1T sold for 140K? Likely if a person has a reservation they can get the truck and flip it for a good price...at least for the next year or two.

Most, like me, are going to keep our orders and trucks, but a few I'm sure will flip them. Almost nobody will trade theirs as they can make an easy 20 to 40k, or more, just in resale.

I am not asking for a straight swap by any means but many are saying to add 40k to 50k plus on top of the actual MYLR (Car) which is just ridiculous. I just wanted to remind that everyone just have a reservation- not the actual car.

If you guys are able to take delivery of the car and then sell that car at $140k-then that make sense as you have the physical car. The reservation means nothing hence my points of many folks here a living on the cloud.

I mean a straight reservation swap. That said, people who are getting it soon have been waiting far longer than you have for your Model Y. You gotta pay a premium to jump in line.

I saw the comment you made after responding about the reservation being placed a while ago.

What i am saying though, is these reservations are borderline a winning lottery ticket. Most of us have held for years. You're going to hit a wall trying to get someone "off their cloud" offering up a common vehicle, for an uncommon one.

I love the Y. I am driving one already. AMD RYZEN IS BLAZING FAST. Superchargers are great. I just have an extra reservation for the Y I figured someone could be interested in going that route and not wait around. If a right person comes around to swap.. cool. If not, no harms done.

It's just so funny to see many Rivian reservations holders treat their $1k reservation as it worth 100k+ car.

Ahh...I don't think you will have many takers. Possibly if you're willing to throw at least another 30k+ in the offer. There's a currently a used truck going for 140k.
He only needs one taker. Based on the fact 2 people responded they are interested in the trade on the first page of responses, I suspect the OP won't have any trouble finding somebody to trade with.

Why is it so hard for you to believe somebody might prefer the Tesla over the R1T?

Maybe somebody wants an EV with great range at a somewhat more affordable price.

Maybe somebody wants an EV but has decided since placing their reservation they would prefer a car vs truck.

Maybe somebody wants an EV and is persuaded to lean to team Tesla based on the Supercharger network (The RAN was supposed to have some sites online in 2021, but they clearly missed that goal).

Jeez... It's almost as if some people on this forum can not fathom anybody preferring a non Rivian EV. I see people with the same attitude on Tesla forums, and it doesn't help the Tesla fanboy stereotype any. I hope people done read posts like this and think Rivian supporters aren't turning into Rivian fanboys.

The guy is looking to acquire an R1T reservation. He's offering to buy it from someone that's decided they don't want theirs or if someone is still in the BEV market but has decided they don't want a Rivian for some reason, he'd swap his MY reservation for their R1T reservation. Very different vehicles, seems like it would be a fluke to find a match, but no harm in him asking the question. He's not offering a MY for a reservation but looking to swap reservations.
