    Tesla will change Foundation Series order to Non-FS without penalty (YMMV)

    Sure thing. One thing we may or may not have learned is that timing for non-FS AWD may be around October. It could also just be a best guess of a sales person as well, though. I have my finger on the order button for the AWD FS but I can’t (yet) bring myself to push it haha.

    Tesla will change Foundation Series order to Non-FS without penalty (YMMV)

    Called Tesla today in southern NJ and asked about this. They said the foundation series cannot be changed to a non-foundation series and delivered in the same time frame (FS Truck without additional package items). They did say that if you were to do this, exactly what happened to OP would...

    ⚡️ PowerShare Install, Specs, Details confirmed! No load shifting (for now)

    From the grid, In my case, I use on average 70kwH a day (averaged 1/1/23-12/31/23) which is a lot, but the house is a bit larger and I have a TON of electronics + 2 EVs. I guess this would give me about a day, but not really in practice since the truck couldn't power everything all at once. I...

    ⚡️ PowerShare Install, Specs, Details confirmed! No load shifting (for now)

    Yeah not included on the AWD - so if this is important to a person, and I assume it would be for most because who doesn't want a home battery backup from their vehicle, it would cost around $4k extra (on top of $100k) to actually make use of the "included" powershare and universal connection...

    ⚡️ PowerShare Install, Specs, Details confirmed! No load shifting (for now)

    That's not good in my case since the meter and panel are on the opposite side of my house than the garage where the now gen 2 wall connector is and would-be universal connector. I would have to run either a long wire for the gateway or for the universal connector, if I can't use the sub panel...

    ⚡️ PowerShare Install, Specs, Details confirmed! No load shifting (for now)

    This is helpful. So, some of the conditions are for sure out of our control and the alternative is worthless to me. I had 3 referrals in the early days where the referral reward was just free supercharging miles. I used none. Bought a LR Model Y recently and would love Acceleration boost...

    ⚡️ PowerShare Install, Specs, Details confirmed! No load shifting (for now)

    Got it - thanks for the detailed explanation. Very helpful. So the question is whether the $2600 of hardware + cost of Tesla certified install is worth the automated backup and slightly more output? Did I read here right that you cannot get your own electrician to install the power sharing...

    Could you help me understand the difference between going with Tesla's inverter/wall connector vs. using the nema 14-50 directly? What is the amperage output difference and how would it work in practice. Power goes out, then what in both connection scenarios?

    Got Invite - Torn on Ordering

    Oh each car has to have its own FSD. It’s tied to the car not the account. That said, the foundation series includes FSD.

    Foundation Series skipper waiting room.

    In the same boat as everyone here. Got my invite last week - simply cannot afford a truck that would be $1400/m. I have a 2023 LR Model Y and a 2018 LR Model 3 and plan to trade in the Model 3 for the truck. It would still leave payments WAY more than I want to pay and with an interest rate...

    Got Invite - Torn on Ordering

    I got my invite last week while on vacation with the family. I had planned to trade in my 2018 Model 3 LR for the CT AWD, but I can't bring myself to pay the $100k price tag when I expected originally to pay somewhere between $60-$70k. I don't want the FSD as I have it on my 2023 Model Y...

    Just got the email from Tesla, foundation series ready to order

    Was thinking about this. If this is the case then the pricing they show on the site to the public right now would be false advertising, no? They would effectively be selling the vehicle All-Wheel Drive and Cyberbeast configurations at $20k more than they are advertising, locked in for a year...
