Foundation Series finally over?

[SMWIII]

Not sure what happened to all the people upset about this? Have they given up already?
I was really hoping for more torches and pitch forks.

When I understood that the $2500 credit was PowerShare was not offered along with free Supercharging for FS buyers post December 27 it took the sting out of the feeling of neglect.

I got mine in November … no FS for me ….

kind of irritating but I love my truck which more than makes up for it . I did get 3 months FS though … so let’s get a party going …

final inventory was likely wholesaled locally by service centers that had inventory, guessing with no free supercharging so as not to upset the secondary market as one year no sale agreements are lapsing. standard practice in big auto.

As of Sunday morning, the Telsa home page continues to show a banner offering Free Supercharging for Foundation Series purchases. It has a link to the Telsa Inventory page, where there is yet another banner about the same offer. But the banners are useless, because now there are no Foundation Series available in inventory.

I would guess that the banners will come down on Monday, but it's a bit surprising that Tesla can't update its own website over the weekend.

Not surprising to me. The company is not firing on all cylinders right now (inapt pun intended). I think it’s evident across the operation. If only leadership was more concerned about operations of this entity than … let’s just say … all the things he seems to be concerned with at the moment.

We need a Tim Cook at Tesla, our Jobs has effectively left the building to pursue other interests.

Free supercharging needs to be given to all foundation series buyers.

Agreed! I have it on my 2023 Model X and only used it on trips; but it saves a bit for that!

Not the slightest chance in hell for mercy on Tesla and their customer service likewise.

Foundation early adopters got the $2500 or $3000 credit. The people with free super charging don’t get that. Go kick rocks

Wasn’t part of the point of foundation series mark up to reduce scalpers. Not having the free supercharging transferable would be perfect for that purpose.

Agreed. We'll probably never know for sure, but my guess is that only a handful of Foundation Series were actually sold in the two weeks since December 27, 2024, when the Free Supercharging offer was announced. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall anyone on this forum posting that Free Supercharging was the final incentive that they needed to drop $100 or $120K on a last-chance FS.

So the Free Supercharging deal probably didn't cost Tesla much. Obviously the cost would skyrocket if Tesla also offered Free Supercharging to the tens of thousands of previous FS adopters. I don't expect that to happen.

We'll probably never know for sure, but keep an eye out for seemingly undamaged Cybertrucks at your local Tesla collision center...

I was one of those recent Foundation Series buyers. Didn't plan to buy for a few months, but free Supercharging pushed me over the edge. I planned to buy the options in the Foundation series truck anyway.

So far, this is the coolest freakin' vehicle I have ever experienced. Glad I made the jump.

I lost $4,000 power share credit, Plus Qmerit gets me a $8,500 quote for a one day install and I only been waiting for a revised quote but no answer. It's funny that there only one company in charge of all quotes for the install. So please don't expect free supercharging ?

Dang it man how did you lose the 4k install credit?
Qmerit operates like Dunder Mifflin.

I literally placed an order 3 days ago intrigued by the FSD and free charging ... I am getting the The foundation series beast with core wheels, all season, and grey interior - late Nov build date.

I also have ordered a FS cyberbeast based on the free supercharging for the life of the vehicle.

OK, I was skeptical but now count three forum members who jumped on Tesla's final (?) Foundation Series offer and got the Free Supercharging deal. So yes, they are out there. Maybe not in huge numbers though.

I lost the $4,000 due to I ordered my Beast 2 days after they canceled the install credit (it might have been nice if someone told me, the only thing they wanted was to put a $1,000 deposit) but they did send me the the power share panel to my house + they charged me the sales tax on it. Well it's a nice paper weight.

C’mon now… you have the greatest vehicle ever made. You gonna let a few bucks at superchargers keep you awake at night? There’s 70 year old people out there driving old police crown vics they got at auction. Try being happy, just to see if it works.

This 70 year old got a birthday present July 27, 2024 ....

It's not really one company. Qmerit is a middle-layer, they route the inquiry to approved contractor(s) in your area. In my area there was only one approved contractor so I was happy to decline the outrageous quote and the same installer who quoted it suggested putting in a 50 amp generator inlet which I could power from the truck - which I did and do at a fraction of the cost.

Other areas have multiple installers, but you need to decline the quote you've received before your inquiry will get routed to another installer is my understanding.
