Foundation Series ending this quarter?

[MetalBonsai]

I'm getting my CT serviced this morning due to a small mistake by the wrap company I used (nbd, its the rubber seal under the driver side top panel in front, got pinched and warped when they put the part back on, they're flipping the bill), and I asked service how many CTs were getting delivered. The guy said about 4 a day at this location and that the goal was to work through FS this quarter. (Tesla service is 5 star excellent btw)

Seems like a good idea to start Q4 with no FS if they want to crank out as many trucks as possible this year. I know there's loads of people waiting for that switch to flip. And with CT test driving opening up and removal of reservation fee and FSD imminent... I feel like we're seeing FS ending by October. Oh, and new model year cars typically reveal in the fall, so maybe all 2024 Cybertrucks are FS and for 2025 starting in October all FS will be done... I bet they'll start doing "Sept is the last chance for FS" or some similar language to forecast it in the last 2 weeks of Sept. Is this a sound theory?

Nobody asked, but here's some extra random thoughts: in the showroom, I sat in the S, 3, Y, then the CT again. CT was the most comfortable, just excellent. I loved my 2022 model 3, but have no regrets trading it in for the CT. Regardless, that 2024 model 3 is awesome. I'd consider it as a replacement for our RX 350, but I fear we wouldn't drive it just like how we don't drive the RX anymore. The CT is too frigging fun. I like the height on the Y, I get why it's so popular. Still not a fan of the look, but I'm super curious what they do as a refresh. Oh, also, no X on the floor here. Maybe phasing out?

I hope they finish all FS by Oct my order still says Oct-Dec and seeing the pace of deliveries, I suspect I’ll get it before then. But Tesla has never done “model year” vehicles. They typically just update there vehicles constantly throughout the year. They will make big change now and then but not not at the end of the year. Model S had a big change mid 2016, model 3 just got a big refresh middle of this year.
But I hope you’re right about them finishing up before October the wait is killing me.

Trevi Fountain is my favorite.

No, Soda Fountain.

Fountain of Youth?

Tesla already answered that question.

Foundation Series is a limited edition Cybertruck, only available for the first year

Gosh darn it. Not sure if it was auto correct or if I was to tired to notice. I corrected it ?

Oh! huh ? when was this revealed? I must be on this site every day, so I'm surprised I missed it.

It's simple folks... Foundation Series will end when monthly Foundation series demand become less than monthly production capacity. Not before and not later.

As long as they can find creative ways to find more Foundation Series buyers they will. It's basic supply and demand in a free market and smart business.

I venture that most all of the people crying foul or saying Tesla lied and other things would be doing the exact same thing if they owned the company.

“The CT is too frigging fun.”
?

Truer words were never spoken. ?

You’re right for the AWD models. The Beast seems to be backed up a few months. I suspect the mix is going to shift by the end of this month to mostly CB variants.

They already reduced production days to 4.

I guess you heard one thing and thought another. They reduced production days to 4 but they are still ramping the production rate. The number of Cybertrucks being produced hasn't gone down, only up.

If demand was greater they would go back to more days.
