This is my first Tesla and will probably be my last. I love the truck but the entire buying experience has left a bad taste in my mouth and I am learning it’s the norm with Tesla .


As one of the earlier buyers I was just two days late at missing the credit for the PowerShare installation , still no wheel covers or lightbar and now I am screwed out of Free SC for life


To all that are saying “ well you still got the $2500 credit for PowerShare “ well that’s nice and all but the FS buyers should’ve been given an option. By option I don’t mean the Tesla way where they offer it for two months then secretly remove the option that was printed in very small print .
Agreed. I picked up my AWD in April. Still no wheel covers. Delivery experience was non existent, so.....bad.

If this sells them it’s a win for FS owners, the other option will be lower the price $15-20K. That will hurt more. The same 8 have been on the website in my area since they started showing them, they need to do something to move them. My local dealers have non-foundation series too, I’m sure they would like to advertise those too, but want to move the FS before they do so.

Saw this coming, I still don’t think this will sell them quickly. Not when excessive non-foundations are available, this would take 8-10 years to break even, just go with the non-foundation And save $15-20K. More deals to come I’m betting!!
What if u would use mainly supercharger? How much could u spend per year avg?

Tesla can remove the offer if they see excessive charging ….. this is BS tho
Just like unlimited Internet and cell phone service they will certainly throttle it if they see “abuse.”

I‘ve debated leaving Tesla, service is atrocious, and build quality (although improved) is the lowest in the industry. Plus insurance is high because Tesla won’t allow repairs outside of their approved shops.

I’ve said it before once these other manufacturers catch up on charging network reliability they are in trouble. The other manufacturers are working hard to catch Tesla in the EV market, I see little effort from Tesla to catch up on Service and overall experience after the sale.

I will probably be in the market some time next year, I was set on getting a Cybertruck, but time will tell.

This is my first Tesla. We ordered our FS Beast on 3/9 so we got all the goodies.

I was pretty upset with Tesla when they dropped the $4k for power share without telling anyone. Now this.

Love the truck and while the delivery experience was sub-par (till they realized they weren’t getting the $15k cashiers check/final payment without paying attention to us). I do think we’ll buy another Tesla in the future. Unless they make something as special as the CT we’ll probably buy used to avoid this nonsense.

Yes, charging non Teslas on road trips is not as seamless as it is with a Tesla. I agree with you.

Considering the Cybertruck for towing my Airstream. Would SuperCharge a whole lot, as a result. This would be a meaningful incentive, if it were available up in Canada. Fingers crossed they’ll need to incentivize FS sales here too.

Read the fine print! It does not come with the voucher. I may spend $50 a year on super charging, but am very happy with the Powershare. Those saying it's not fair should read the entire promotion first before complaining.
It's crazy, but I can't remember the last time I used a supercharger. I probably only used a supercharger a handful of times. This includes the Model Y we bought in 2020, has 73k miles now. This even includes 2 years of ownership only have a 110v charging! The Cyberbeast has never been supercharged before. But we're the outlier. We don't like doing roadtrips.

In conclusions, Tesla's are the best, the very best commuter vehicles. 73k miles on our Y. Only thing I did maintenance wise is change tires once and the occasional tire rotation. Need new tires soon though.
