Free lifetime supercharging for Foundation Series Cybertrucks in inventory

[Crissa]

I wouldn’t say that’s average where I live. 30¢/kWh is the minimum.

System and 'by you' are of course different subsets which will have different results.

Also, most people generally charge 'not near you' (and also 'not near their home', either, so not sure about your choice of data points.

Dude, it can completely charge the truck in twelve hours. Failed?

100% for what you're replying to, my post....but what? 12 hrs to charge the truck? Never has anyone experienced that not even with the supplied 32amp. Lol. Maybe if anyone was dumb enough to use 120 volt. That would be hilarious dudet? ?

Back where this whole level 2 charging business got off track.

Who are you arguing with, though?

My reply doesn't say 32a, and is a maximum. Did you ignore 1974? My reply was to him. If you have someone ignored (or the admin has separated you), you won't see their post at all. Sometimes it says [ignored used] but not always.

Yes, Tesla failed with at home charging with the CT. I have the old 80amp wall charger and wired it to 100amp breakers and truck only goes to 48 no matter wjat you throw at it. Sad, i was anticipating the higher amp ability for the truck.

You know better. I'm sure you're just pretending you don't know how hard they struggle with weight (and parts) reduction in order to bloviate on this forum. I'm plenty grown up, actually at 75 I'm shrinking, and my Model S is VIN 5341 so I've followed the evolution from the beginning.

Yeah I held parts from the first 10 roadsters in my hands. Parts from trains. Yes diesel electric trains.
The early beginning is great. We got the great service. Learned many things. Taught some stuff to them as well along the way.

By the way I am talking first refresh S's charging systems. Not nosecone era. When they went away with the twin to the single unit. I am glad to remove the seats to show it. It says 72 amp. I opened my failed 48. It literally has two more box fuse thingies. That's it. The cooling loop is the same. I watched as it was installed in my garage. Rex my mobile service tech even got a reuben sandwich.

I agree to the above to a degree. I would say if other autos start doing what I said ^ they are currently researching. I would expect Tesla to increase charging rates inside the on board charger and on wall units.

Till then it is money and simplification. Not weight. Maybe that would simplify this thread.

That's why I asked you why you are arguing with ME. You and I never disagreed on charging rates. I also don't know why you said he didn't refer to the 32A supplied charger, ie. the mobile charger. I just posted that he did. Since it was referenced, I tried to clarify both rates and their charging times. I have to say I'm not so thrilled having to dig through 16 pages to show it to you.

You didn't have to, but thank you for doing so ^-^;

Yes we did. They actually responded to our feedback in those days, even provided a forum for it.

So you know it's been a constant evolution and always with priority attention on wieght and part reduction.

Why do you say that? I believe we have seen see this a few different years at the EOY push for the more expensive models since 2018. (At least that I can recall.)

Ok, maybe it does come back, but it would only be to clear foundation series inventory. Once foundation series inventory is cleared, I don’t think we’ll see it again for the cybertruck.

Says the person that hasn't been around Tesla very long.

Not sure why you say that. I’m a 2018 model 3 and 2022 model Y owner.

But they have offer lifetime charging for non-foundation series models before.

This is the first time since I’ve been paying attention to Tesla since 2018 that there’s ever been a concept of a foundation series. It’s always been a performance model to start with.

Only on S and X have they offered free supercharging on and off, with the exception of the release of the model 3 performance in 2018, of which since then has never seen free supercharging on a 3 and never on a Y. S and X are not high volume cars and they are not trying to drive the prices down like they will be with the cybertruck.

Pair that with the fact that the cybertruck has the highest watts per mile making it the most expensive per mile to supercharge. Supercharging the cybertruck would cost Tesla the most. They are only doing it because they need to clear foundation series inventory that costs $10k+ more for an older build and requires FSD.

Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s my reasoning.

Exactly. Free supercharging for life was told was going to go away many times as on offer. Only to stay on forever for S and X. That was only an offer for a second for performance model 3 owners.

Which proves my point you haven't been around to experience. Hey, we're going to take away free supercharging as an offer this quarter and then next quarter and the quarter after that and a year after that.

So they took it away. Now it is back for the S. Back for clearing this or clearing that. Tesla uses it's reasons. Just realize it can all change tomorrow forever to be back next quarter or next year. So to say it's never going to happen again is kind of what many people used to say for a long time with Tesla.

I agree come on Telsa give us cybertruck freaky loyalists free supercharging . We speak only highly of Tesla despite having our Cybertrucks spend days in the shop fixing new release issues .

You now giving it to the fence sitters .. Damn I wish I was fence sitter now .

Put some restrictions on it to stop abuse .


Come onnnn Tesla Lets do this .......

There is only 27185 of us Foundationers a small amount of free supercharging given your plans are to make 250 000 cybertrucks per year .

I am sending my letter to Austin tomorrow. I only took early delivery because I am older and my res number was 275,000 which on the current production levels might have give. Me my truck when I turn 80. So I pulled the trigger and paid the premium. Now o regret it even though I love driving it daily so much letter goes out and I think I will send it registered with a return notification of receipt

I'm on my second trip in to service for recalls. Free supercharging would be nice for us we have had to deal with more then new buyers. But that is Teslas decision we bought without it.
