do you need a rear locking diff if you can digitally control wheelspin on each rear wheel?
Super duper, extra hard .... It depends!

In a Tesla, probably ok. If it was a Ford I'd say no.

I've got my Foundation Series configuration link and I live in Florida! I can't decide on whether I should get the Cyberbeast or Dual Motor?
The only value I see in the beast is the cool graphic of the 3-headed wolf.

Pulled the trigger on the Dual Motor. Sensible beat sexy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

112801? Getting closer to me! Not that I really think it will make it to 113 in the Foundation series, but I do live in CA, and did reserve a Tri with FSD, so the boxes are checked :)

It kind of stinks that they are rewarding “early” reservation holders. They probably got 25,000 orders in the first hour. So it’s really first 5 min reservations. And they hold their events at random times. I guess there is no perfect time, but i think it was later in the evening and I watched it later and ordered within 24 hours and my reservation is around 100,000 but 12,000 for that trim possibly.

Just be thankful you are saving on an extra $20 K foundation tax.

I got the offer for founders and my reveal reservation wasn’t in the first 5 minutes. My reservation was finalized next day at 5 pm. I think I tried to order toward the end of the presentation day of so 30-40 min later but the site was not loading so I gave up until the next day.

It does appear they’re restricting to TX and CA so that’s probably the main factor and then within the first two days of order availability where it’s a little more random. Other day 1 TX/CA are not getting offers. Such as Tesla there is no clarity.
