In 4 years how much more value will the Foundation Series have over normal?

[OUTLAW]

The real value for me was the powershare equipment, and install installation at my home and the kick ass light bar.

It's interesting to see the date of this post,now, a year later. I ordered the FS Beast because I thought they would make up 20-25% of all FS, making them eventually appreciate in value ....for my Grandson. I think it turns out about 25-30k total were made?? , 4-5k are Beasts?? Someone will have the figures....?? There are some internal differences also Dash material., FS engraving .... On top of.. FSD= 8k, 2.5k light bar, 4k-2.5k towards home charging..... So yea The FS Beast will eventually be more valuable than the purchase price.....50 years ??

No. Highly unlikely.

It will be my cyber taxi business worth billions!

Other than extremely early VIN's owned by Musk, Franz or other famous names they will not appreciate.

Serious thought. Not trolling. (People think I'm always trolling for some reason lol)

A lot of people are using the included accessories to help justify the FS cost. (Which is totally reasonable).

But if that's the case, then how much are we thinking the etched emblems are really worth whenever it comes to resale vs a CT without the emblems?

Realistically, they're the exact same truck (if optioned the same).

Anyone own a founders version of other Teslas and want to weigh in?

Again, not saying anyone is making a bad decision or anything. Just curious

If the Foundation truck has FSD and the non-Foundation does not, the price differential will likely be more than the original $20K price difference. This assumes FSD will be able to drive unsupervised by then, which would mean FSD is probably selling for more than a $20K premium.

None, they will keep getting cheaper and cheaper. China is making so many electric vehicles with more range at a much cheaper price. I’m glad I waited 5-6 months to order the Cybertruck.

Are you moving to China?

Traditionally "collectable" vehicles resale prices bell curve with the top price occurring about 40-50 years after introduction. This corresponds to when the 16-28 year old that could not afford the vehicle at introduction reach their peak income and are adding a few toys to their garage that they remember from their youth.

However, it does not always work, I recently saw a near mint 75 Brickland go for only $30,000. The money would have appreciated much more in a conservative stock or even a T-bill. To truly get maximum appreciation the car should be stored on jack stands in a climate-controlled environment, it will need to be insured and routinely checked up on. I would also add there are possible unknowns with long term battery storage. So, factor in the storage costs and associated risks. There is another thread on the forum tragically highlighting what can happen to one's home and garage with barely a moment's notice.

My advice, enjoy the truck now!

Can non-fs not permanently buy FSD? Is FSD like a software license to the individual or more like a hardware thing that is part of the vehicle itself?

 

[txtravwill]

zero to a little. Could be negative if there are build issues

I'd agree. Negative as early builds with more issues and outdated improvements.

Yes, every vehicle Tesla sells has this as a selectable option. The Foundation Series had it as Standard.

Unfortunately, since it's sold as an option with a vehicle, the license is stuck to the vehicle unless Tesla is offering transfers as a promotional item.

You can also get it after receiving your Tesla, in the in-app store, but it will be more expensive over time.

Sure, you can add FSD to your Cybertruck at any time, but it will be done at the then-current price. When you buy FSD now, for $8K, that price is based upon FSD being supervised. But you don't have to pay more as it gains more capabilities, including when it's able to drive unsupervised. At that point, it will probably cost $30K or more.

It's a software license tied to the vehicle, and it includes free upgrades for the life of the vehicle.

Hopefully cheap i wanna get another

If one does the FSD purchase, what happens if your CT is totaled?

FSD goes with it.

I suspect your SOL. I believe that’s what folks who’ve had OG model S’s say happened to them. I think your FSD is RIP’d.
