3rd baby on the Way need a bigger car. The new R1S reservation delivery date is too far out (made the reservation last month), I also have a reservation for Tesla model Y , 7 seater, I really prefer not to settled for that lol. I see some people are selling their reservations on here, how does it work? Are reservations even transfer able? I don't want to spend 1000s of $ and end up with nothing. Thanks in advance.
Can R1S reservation be purchased?

A few different Rivian employees have told me that there is no way to sell a reservation as of now. Hope that's helpful.

You will have to wait for someone selling/flipping theirs or come to a contractual agreement privately to purchase someone's Rivian pre delivery where your the one making the choices on specs and funding the delivery, again PRIVATELY...

This is what I've been told as well. Makes sense since Rivian sells vehicles, not reservations. Thanks
I canceled my R1T reservation. Had a few people reach out to try and “buy” it from me. I reached out to Rivian and they said it is not possible. You will have to wait until someone takes delivery and sells theirs.
on another note why not the Y? They are very solid, more efficient, reliable, proven,SC network,…. Really better across the board then the unknown R1S.

Gonna be a family of 5 next year. the Y might not be big enough with all the stroller, car seats and stuff. I also annoyed at the fact that price increase 15k within 1 year with no added value. Only reason I'm considering the Y is because the tax credit night be coming back. Or else 72k is not a good value for the model Y (upgraded Wheels, 3rd row and White seats)

Third row in Y is not really a third row. More like a jump seat than anything.
Are we sure the 3rd row in a Rivian is “real”. The R1S about the same size as my LX570 and the LX 3rd row is more like a jump seat, I’m 5’7” 160 and don’t fit back there well. It only works for very short trips or kids <12
I'll be using the 3rd row for 1 of my kids 4 year old. I'll Just keep rotating the smallest child to the back

If you think that is not practical then you're REALLY not going to like the 3rd row in the MY.
My buddy has a 3rd row Y. It is somewhat smaller 3rd row but I wouldn’t say less functional then the LX. The biggest difference with my LX and the Y is that when using the 3rd row on the LX I can put a few smaller things behind the 3rd row.

So can't carry a human being OR luggage. Super practical ;-)
I can’t carry luggage behind the 3rd row. 3-4 school sized back packs is about it.
That's expected with the model Y it's way shorter than the LX . But I guess it would be ok if one of the 3rd row seats stay folded.
