Cybertruck Foundation Series Reservation Holder Reveals Cost Of $120,000: Only 1,000 Will Ever Be Made

[snorp]

I didn't order.

Might have if it was tax credit eligible.

I just don’t see the value for FE CT, the regular DM qualifies for the federal rebate. Why risk this for some extra gimmicks which I can alway add on later if needed.

I received the invite today. I'm not interested in paying $20k for the Foundation series. The way they are pitching the Range Extender is off-putting as well. The 500 mile range was a key reason I was interested in the vehicle.

Ordered an AWD version today for Jan-March delivery. 1st day reservation holder and located in Ohio.

There’s a lot of, “off putting”... Good luck for those that move forward with an early Founder’s Edition - In all seriousness.

Looks like today was another round of emails. My brother got his and placed the order. Jan-March 2024

Too push the FE on emails to everyone, says nobody is ants to overpay more than the overpriced from original price range. Hence my opinion of getting the DM version no FE or CB version.

With all due respect, the numerous anecdotal experiences are not a confirmation. It is unfortunate for those who were leaning towards purchasing not to have had enough time to make the decision, but so long as there is a non-zero number of contrary anecdotes, i.e., people still being able to order, I would say that the Foundation Series had not yet sold out.

I am able to configure again.

They will sell more like 10k if they can how will you know, is it numbered like special edition models are to track how many are produced?

Yeah.... "Limited" means "limited" to the number they can sell.... I always laughed when I saw a company label something as a "Limited Edition," without specifying a count!

Tesla sent me the Founders Edition email a while back and I just laughed because the tax would be around $11,000. I'm not willing to pay the almost $100k they want for the Tri-Motor with only 320 miles of range, let alone $120k for the Founders. When I put my reservation in 4 years ago it was supposed to cost $70k with over 500 miles of range. When Tesla can get more reasonable with pricing then I'll use my reservation, and if not then I'll cancel and get my $100 back.

I did that analysis and got my $100 back right after that “delivery event” spectacle.

One of online posters mentioned the external battery pack should be in the truck (cubby) vs where you lose 1/3 of the bed capacity. $16k is a very hard price to buy for an extra estimated 100 miles in my opinion.

I think the people who will buy that will mostly be guys who are looking to tow trailers.

Re the OP's assertion that started this thread: There is still no good source saying there will be only 1000 Foundation-series Cybertrucks.

 

[ABC2D]

There is still no good source saying there will be only 1000 Foundation-series Cybertrucks.

I think we all can agree that Foundation Series is a limited production, limited to the number they can sell, which, judging by the Nth wave of invites, appears to be much higher than 1,000 Maybe they limit it to 1,000 Foundation Series cybertrucks PER WAVE OF INVITES

Dirty Tesla Guy on YT placed his order for the "Limited Edition" CT/FE today...The orders pile on.

My packet of magic quantum qubits tells me that no one individual will ever "see" more than 1,000 FE series trucks.

Tesla's Corporate Accounting abacus says otherwise.

Even though he said he can't afford it and in Michigan you can't get a Tesla loan, it has to be from somewhere else besides Tesla. So it will be interesting to see how he can get a loan. But I suspect if can swing it, he won't keep it very long because he keeps buying Tesla's and then selling them.
