Purchase price is below 80k, but barely.. Is that all thats needed to qualify? Does the order/destination fee disqualify it? Pretty sure any add-ons would.. What about software addons like FSD? If it disqualifies the purchase, can you get the rebate first then buy FSD? Is the rebate available at the point of sale?

I'm guessing they will give us this option when its available, and right now the 4680 pack disqualifies it because of the imported cathodes. I thought they would at least wait for the cybercell V2 if not a whole refresh before ending the FS, but i guess orders ran out of steam :(

Got my email to order, but i want to get this figured out first.. FS got free FSD for being first, we the poors get free FSD for waiting.. And I want that 10% range increase. Thanks!

Tesla is currently using cathodes imported from China in the 4680s. That makes Cybertruck ineligible for the federal clean vehicle credit. If they source from Panasonic or get the dry cathode process into production, then it could qualify.

In 2025, the exclusion on Chinese minerals kicks in.

Software add ons, taxes, etc do not count with the tax credit, but currently the CT doesn't qualify.

It doesn't end in 2025, that's when the mineral disqualification kicks in on top of component disqualification.

Can someone break down exactly the difference between the FS AND NON FS?
So I can figure out what I paid for ?. Yes the badges. What ells was included on the FS that non FS doesn’t have?

Ok so basically if someone got the non FS and added all the stuff the FS had they would save 3k ? I’m ok with that. Plus I don’t have to deal with going out and buying all that stuff. Only thing I might of not got is the FSD but what ever.
