Ok, I guess I’ll chime in here. Bottom line it is his allocation to do with as he pleases. For all anyone knows the car might be worth $15k over MSRP and he is making a nice offer to a 6speeder with $5k for his trouble. It could very well be that the delivery date will pass and he will need to get out from under it. So….no more comments on the sellers ethics please…he has been a member of this forum for 14 years in good standing….this is a car forum not Judge Judy!

Back to this thread, I'm not going to address Rory anymore, not worth anyone's time. Thanks for all the clarification GT3Chuck and the kind words on my standing.
Anyone that still may be interested please let me know. The car is scheduled for delivery within the next few days.

Not ignorant. Kind. Fair? I don’t know but it’s not about me I’m just sharing a perspective.
IMO, if you’re not even taking delivery of the car, that means you don’t want it. And if you don’t want it, why not pass the allocation to someone who does. Or you can make a quick buck (almost literally) off of someone. I would hope that more people would opt to make someone’s day by sharing/releasing an allocation they don’t even want and have no interest in, rather than charging people like a flipper middleman trying to capitalize on every penny out there. further - you don’t even have the car despite saying “immediate delivery.” What happens when Tesla moves the date a week, a month, 3 months? Not your problem right you sold the allocation thinking delivery was immediate and off you go. Just a recipe for a problem vs being kind and handing the reservation to someone who will appreciate it.
Totally understand there’s an opportunity to make a buck, this is a marketplace messageboard, and some people say hey “if you can do it why not”…I just view it as lame and would hope more ppl don’t than do.

I'm with you! It's not like the Op would be losing anything. Pay it forward to your fellow man.
