Why did you purchase a Universal Wall Connector with the measly $700 Tesla offered you? I believe all FS Cybertrucks include that item as part of the additional $20K cost. Hopefully Tesla does not require the Universal Wall Connector be shipped to a certified electrician like they do the V3 Gateway?
Did you not read the email in this thread? This is what Tesla offered. You're expected to find an electrician but you order it from the store with the coupon code they give you.

I already have a Powerwall and a universal wall connector. On 3/4 I got an email asking for additional info regarding my setup. I just wonder what kind of credit, if any, will I get for already having what‘s needed for PowerShare. I really hope at least they still give me the UWC as I would like to install that for a second EV.
I got that email too and marked yes for both questions. I assume you would get the $700 credit at a minimum but I don't know what they are doing.

Their lack of timely communication and sometimes no communication at all has me at the point of throwing my hands up and saying - forget it.

Thanks for that nice clarification!

Tesla Cybertruck V3 gateway not needed for backup if you already own Powerwalls IMG_2055

The original Foundation package included both the Universal Wall Connector and a Gateway v3.

a $700 credit to their store does not equal the same thing. That only covers the Universal Wall Charger. Whoever is running this program isn’t thinking things through.

As a Foundation CT owner, even if we don’t need a v3 gateway since our home already have the compatible equipment, we should still have the v3 gateway available for us in our Tesla account.
In case we move houses and need to install it to new resident. Or at the best least, be able to gift it or convert into a store credit equivalent.

100% agree. But I have no idea how to contact them about this.

Not only did I receive this email depreciating the value of my Foundation Series purchase, when scheduling Cybertruck service I received notification that because I already owned an electric vehicle, my Cybertruck would not be returned to me, however I would receive a credit in the Tesla store for $12.00 to buy a Cybertruck T Shirt instead.

As long as your wall connector is 240v and backed up by your gateway, that's my understanding.
I got the same email. I have PowerWall 2s, gateway V2 and Gen 3 Wall Connector (wifi connected, not universal). Apparently I have all of the hardware I need.

Has anyone had any progress with negotiating a higher credit?

I did get the credit, now trying to figure out if I can install the v3 gateway myself.
