Wheels: gratis.I wish you were right but I dont see there being anything up their sleeve for the foundation edition. They were only like $10 away from the cap without any addons. Foundation's tire upgrade by itself would put it over.
Interior upgrade: gratis.
FSD: $12k
Powershare hardware: $4-5k
Software upgrades are not part of the calculation for receiving the tax incentive, and if they just declared the software costs to be $20k and the rest of the "options" (which we don't get, because they're standard on the FE) are flat. So the cost could conceivably be $80k for 2024 while only the Foundation Edition version is being sold.
Remember, we ordered the edition that has standard options, zero things to choose. That was by design. The Range Extender option even was a preorder and a retrofit, so it wouldn't be part of the calculation.
Tesla could declare that the Foundation Edition, for all 2024, is $20k worth of software and $80k worth of car for the AWD. I couldn't choose tires or interior options, those were chosen for me. So, as far as MSRP is concerned, they're "standard" since I was never offered the purchase without them.
EDIT: I also think this is why the Foundation Edition CT's sold in December 2023 were sold to Tesla employees only. Jan 1, 2024, Tesla can take the tax incentive at point of sale, and now that we're in 2024, I think they're ready for the tax incentive.
