Upgraded my 2024 to 2026 Cybertruck AWD Premium (39xxx to 93xxx) - differences / comparison review

[webspeedracer]

Hi. Could you please tell me about the suspension you're using? The front axle on my truck is very stiff; when I go over bumps, it bounces like a car without suspension. It bothers me. I thought it was because it's a truck, but I think other cars have softer suspension.

Sounds like you have a Beast…? Early Beasts were notorious for being very rough over bumps under throttle (I’ve experienced this with Beast loaners in my neighborhood roads,). I also noticed the Pirelli AS tires are also harsher riding on my AWD than the Goodyear ATs.

I must have a solid FS AWD vin 6xxx at 27k miles, no wind noise, super solid, quiet motors and smooth driving even with All Terrains. Plus I keep that Foundation series badging. I thought about trading it in for a 26 but with OP differences I wouldnt have the same in my truck.

Driving the SBW and RWS will always seal the deal!

Anyone have free SC transfer in addition to FSD? That has saved me over $8k already, never having to pay to charge, minus a few dollars in idle fees from sleeping.
I did get a loaner CB one time and noticed the suspension did better at absorbing bumps over train tracks and bad pavement. Supposedly the Bilstein shocks are different.

Is there a list with confirmed part changes?

PCS rev G
Front motor rev X?
Bilstein Shocks PN?
Darker sunroof with metal flakes

Last cars with transferable Free Supercharging were in 2016

I did the same. I went from a '24 Foundation series AWD to a '26 AWD at the end of March. Hard to pass up with the 3.99%, and the FSD transfer. The trade value was decent as well.

The '26 is much quieter. I had this annoying chirp noise between 15mph and 40mph, and that's completely gone on the new one. There are so many small differences or fixes. Seals, materials, and general fit and finish. So glad I did it.

? the difference in what I received from the claim & the cost of my new truck? So order included wheel tire upgrade & white decor (was used to the original foundation) Payoff included tax & fees & the additional 20% replacement cost . Less than $1000. My only loss was running board cost & Wrap cost although they did increase the estimated value with those items included. Very happy with USAA they were very responsive and knowledgeable of Tesla vehicles. It probably helped the other party was at fault and USAA is going to recover all costs.

I took my running boards off and put them on my new truck.

I thought FSD transfer was done?

It was, but they honored it for orders made up to a certain point though early April.

One thing about the 26 that is not better from our earlier models is the lane keep assist.

Very annoying and can be still disabled.

But re-enables on next start on the 26.

This is not the case in our 24 trucks, it stays disable through restart cycles.

In our rural area the lane keep assist is constantly chiming in due to the roads.....

Darn. Then I'm definitely not trading in for a newer one without free SC and FSD. 0% interest also makes it super nice. Maybe if they make a quad motor version in the future, I'd consider it.

That's significant!

I would have to not use FSD to notice this.
