Tesla changed the Powershare benefit for FS CT orders - from $4000 credit to $2500 voucher

[mongo]

I posted a picture with it highlighted in this thread.

Could just be me, but I don't see a picture attached to any of your posts in this thread.
Wording from current Foundation order page for Beast (and AWD) has no mention of $4k credit:

INCLUDED
POWERSHARE HOME BACKUP

1. USE CYBERTRUCK TO POWER YOUR HOME OFF THE GRID
2. POWER AN AVERAGE HOME FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS
3. UNIVERSAL WALL CONNECTOR AND GATEWAY V3 INCLUDED

Powershare Home Backup installation services are not included. A $2500 Tesla Shop voucher for ordering equipment and instructions for coordinating with Tesla Certified installer will be provided. Installation must be completed with a Tesla Certified Installer.

Foundation Series Cybertruck customers who are not eligible or who decline the Powershare Home Backup can use the voucher for a single purchase in the Tesla Shop, which may include various items, up to the voucher value.

Which is still ambiguous because it doesn't explicitly say the $2,500 is for the UWC and Gateway; however the Powershare page somewhat clarifies that (but isn't linked to from the order page).

It says you can have $2500 on either model towards the equipment. The equipment costs approx $2700. There is no change to cones with either model as to installation credit. The beast still offers a $4,000 installation credit for now.

Agree on equipment = credit, but where do they still say $4k for Beast installation?

It’s either or as I read it.
beast doesn’t get 2.5 plus 4 for install.

I'm not seeing the $4k at all anymore though...
Either UWC & Gateway bought with $2,500 credit (guessing contractor only bundle price)
Or
$2500 in credit for a single (multi-item) purchase

Tesla changed the Powershare benefit for FS CT orders. It now states you will receive a $2,500.00 Tesla Shop voucher and no longer mentions a $4,000.00 installation allowance for FS Cyberbeast orders.

When I placed my FS Cyberbeast order for LTS on 5-10-24, Tesla stated they would provide a Universal Wall Connector and Powershare Gateway and a $4,000.00 installation allowance for FS Cyberbeast orders.

I ordered a dual motor which didn't come with a Powershare Gateway installation credit but comes with the Powershare Gateway. I would like to trade the Powershare Gateway for a $2,500.00 credit toward a Powerwall or two. The Beast should also be able to use the $2,500.00 credit toward a Powerwall or two.

WHAt??? I’ve never received any email about a voucher or credit for Tesla shop! I already have wall connector charger because I own an S model! How did I miss this. My order is FS CT AWD at $102,500

 

[webspeedracer]

might help reduce cost of Powershare installs from $4k+ to less. Many here have noted the typical $4k+ install cost might be inflated due to Tesla credit as a sort-of signal for installers to charge this amount regardless of difficulty time/ involvement.

Agreed. My ultra-simple short-run install was quoted at just over $4000 for my AWD, and the Powershare program wont allow me to find a different installer ?

Following. I took AWD delivery March 6 but turned down PS install cuz I already have a powerwall. Got $700 voucher about a week later. Already spend it but I definitely feel ripped off if it’s now $2500 voucher.

Also if they were smart they should allow/offer you to use the voucher towards a powerwall install.

I bet they just changed the hardware credit because people were complaining about loosing $2,700 in equipment for a $700 shop credit. Now they get $2,500 towards equipment which makes much better sense. I don't think many people realized that if you buy an AWD, you will be paying $3 thousand plus more for the Powershare install, making it a closer spread to the Beast price. Now that installs are actually happening, they must have finally put enough pressure on Tesla to change the equipment credit to $2,500.

I already took delivery of my Beast in early May and have proof I'm getting a $4,000 installation credit.

I am in the exact same boat as you, it will be interesting to see what Tesla does. They seem to have after the fact changed the eligibility requirements for powershare. They now want less than a 20’ run from main panel to parking area and they want only one main panel with 225amp or less.

Well I have a 400amp meter and two sister main panels and my distance is closer to 40’. If they try to reject me now for powershare after they made these changes Tesla’s arbitration team will be hearing from me with a simple request to convert the $4k powershare credit to an additional $4k tesla store credit. Telsa screwed up because there initial eligibility survey was not as detailed or specific as the current qmerit questionnaire. After they sent me their initial survey they verified in writing that I am eligible. If they change the eligibility factors after I purchased and it now makes me ineligible this change has caused me damages and they provided me false information which I relied upon to purchase their product. Seems like a simple case, I have an unfortunate feeling I might have to go this arbitration route on this depending on if my eligibility has changed or not.

The dual 200A panels shouldn't be an issue. Like with Powerwall, they put the Gateway on one of them. Full house backup would require two Gateways and at least two Powerwalls (one per panel).

I really think nothing has changed that will hurt anyone. This is a plus for people that are denied power share as now they will get $2500 instead of $700. I personally don’t think it has anything to do with installation credits or not. We will see how it plays out.

I did the survey a month ago from the Tesla provided link and have had no contact. So I just went directly to the Qmerit online quote request and it was much more detailed. Info about type of house, photos of AC units and electrical boxes. Filled it all out and got an instant confirmation from them via text message.
Will keep you all posted on any progress, I am still waiting for VIN so hope I can tap that new $2500 install credit on AWD version.

This is good information but I can tell you for fact I have yet to receive this voucher. I am annoyed to say the least. Based on what I just read, I should have received a voucher via email by now.

I am in the same situation. It’s been over a month and no email or voucher. I can’t get a hold of anyone to inquire about the this issue. Did you actually talk to a live person that confirmed this? I can’t believe this is the customer service one gets after dropping $120+K on truck!!! Venting complete
