PSA - Cyberbeast $4,000 install credit GONE. Tesla is shady on this one

[Dahongfei]

Attaching the email that I just received, I ordered on 5\29 and expected my PowerShare credit, Tesla store rep said that it came with the $4,000 installation credit at delivery. Feeling very played by Tesla on this. This is what made the foundation series worth it and they just secretly took that away.

1) what do you all think?
2) now that I have the hardware, I ordered it from Tesla, can I use any Electrician and get my own quotes to install this?

Email from qmerit received on 7/18:

I am following up on your recent inquiry regarding eligibility for the Cyberbeast Installation credit of up to $4000. We have received confirmation from Tesla that unfortunately you are not eligible for the installation credit, as your vehicle was ordered after Tesla's promotional end date (5/22/2024). I apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment this has caused. However, if you are still interested in a Powershare installation through Qmerit, we would love the opportunity to provide you with an estimate from one of our Certified Installers.

Yeah, apparently order page had changed by 5/23.
Note this only impacted Beast orders, Foundation still comes with UWC/Gateway via $2,500 credit.

Was the credit mentioned in the order? I ordered a Beast on 3/9 and the credit is still showing.

I just spoke with my installer, the word that he got through QMERIT from Tesla, was that they ended it now and it is on a “customer by customer basis.“ whatever that Means….

It ended in May based on order date, so it is customer by customer since the installers need Tesla to verify which buyers qualify (as opposed to all Beast orders).
It may only seem like now based on those orders starting to get delivered.

Booooo 5/24 order here and no credit for me.

Elon ducked us all again

That is kind of crappy for anyone ordering a Foundation Series Cybertruck to not get the same offer as others.

I agree the change in the Beast Powershare package should have been called out better. AWD FS has stayed the same.

that was my issue as well, on delivery they told me I was going to get it and they quietly took it away. The beast isn’t as sweet of a deal anymore.

I cannot believe they took the $4000 credit away from the beast order. It doesn't make any sense.

Tesla makes changes like this to meet supply and demand. CB deliveries are running behind and this will funnel more orders to AWD.

The $4k for the Beast never made sense. It had the same $20k FS package as the AWD which didn't get the $4k credit.
