I configured my Cyberbeast on 1/9/24 and have not received the Powershare Survey yet. Should I keep waiting or should I reach out to Tesla?I was in the first batch of CyberTruck invitees on Friday, December 9. I ordered my CyberBeast on Saturday morning.
When I was ordering, the delivery time was January to March, 2024. I remember this clearly (sorry, no screenshot) because the AWD could be delivered in December 2023 and I was torn. I had to get over $20,000 higher price for CyberBeast vs AWD, too.
As background, I have the 11th last Roadster made, two PowerWalls for my house, owned and returned a Model 3 and Model 3 Performance, and currently own a Model Y and Model Y Performance with my Roadster (garage queen).
I was at the Tesla Semi launch in Hawthorne and saw the new Roadster unveiled when it came out of the back of the Semi. That was fun!
In 2023, I was invited to the Plaid sales event at the Fremont factory and went around the track twice with two launches.
I'm fairly dialed in with Tesla and have been so since 2011. Yes, an early investor.
A new twist is the bi-directional charging (PowerShare) with the huge battery in the CyberBeast. It is innovative and exciting. Has everyone received and completed the survey? I did and said I have two PowerWalls installed.
For context, a CyberBeast has the capacity of nine (9) PowerWalls and bi-directional charging is hardware enabled.
Regarding production and deliveries of the AWD to date, Tesla is getting AWDs into all of their stores. This is to draw traffic into the stores and sell Model S, 3, X and Y vehicles. The AWDs are roped off to avoid fingerprints.
Complicating matters is getting the Model 3 Highland produced and delivered in the US. I know people that are waiting for the refreshed Model 3.
My belief is the CyberBeast will be the very best vehicle Tesla makes. And Tesla wants it to be robust. Just like a Plaid S or X.
There must be some hardware-related issues with the CyberBeast that are causing a delay and I can only speculate that it is battery related. It could be supply chain related as well. Software can be updated over the air, hardware cannot
I am confident that there will be several Easter eggs that are hardware-related in the CyberBeast that are not in the AWD. With my first Model 3, we were super pleased with the rear seat heaters that were part of a software upgrade months after we had the vehicle. No one knew the heating elements were in place already.
I'm anxious, as we all are, to get my CyberBeast. My hard deadline is in June because I have a 3,000 mile trip planned from California up the west coast to Canada, then across BC to Alberta, and back through Montana, Utah and Arizona to California. There will be a limited number of CyberBeasts delivered by then so I'm sure it will turn heads, especially in Canada.
A June delivery allows me to start my trip in July so I'm (anxiously) chill for nowi
Finally, I'll share that I asked if I should switch from CyberBeast to AWD and was advised not to do so yet.
