LUXE Package Reflections: Owners who have it, are you pleased? Those who're considering buying a CyberTruck, to what extent does (re)offering entice?

[Outdoors]

I’m still happy with my 17MS (aka after 5 years of Tesla building them). I’d expect it’ll be about the same for the CT also. So, I might buy a new one in 2029 and my expectations will be much higher of course.

Cool. I am happy with mine at 350k. Same year.
Have done much of the service myself. Same day as I made that post. Paid for a compressor and another suspension corner.

I just think the people that expect it to be cheap post warranty don't have any idea how much it cost to get a compressor and a strut replaced on a cyber truck out of warranty. I hear people complaining about $1,000 pcs piece well warranted for the complaint but I just think that there's this panacea of zero cost. EVS.

I would just say really think and ask your service center. How much does it cost to get a compressor replaced? + Two suspension pieces. That will happen if some of the people on this thread say they keep their cars for 10 years and a half a million miles.

In reality, I'm just saying for somebody that's in the 350k plus range on multiple EVS. The cost is not zero and unless you can do the work yourself on some of these pieces without gateway access, you're going to be paying a pretty penny.

Especially those early builds that got FUSC. I know that they are high VIN numbers from zero. However, they are nothing like the quality changes that happened in the years of the model S or even God forbid the model X. We are well. Still in the infancy of the Cyber truck quality changes.


Edit add:
I just would say I would have hoped that the lux package got a basic warranty to 75k for the price.

that allocates ~$2,000 ($1,960 specifically) to FUSC.)

I don't have FUSC, but I'd pay triple that for FUSC right now!

I was in a bind. I have 2 MXs with FSD (HW3). If I bought Luxe CT, then there'd be no need to transfer FSD, so I'm still stuck with 2 HW3 FSDs. I had to get a PAWD to transfer FSD, so opted for that, but missing FUSC immensely. It's just nice to not have to think about charging cost, even if it's all psychological and I'm not saving any money. I wish Tesla had the option to prepay for FUSC separately.

Fully agree.
My sunroof kicked the bucket at 125k miles (I use the sunroof open 80% of the time). That was a $3k TS cost. Now, it’s just the normal wear and tear items like on any man made product.
I’m definitely looking into learning DIY repairs like the headliner.

The FUSC comes at a cost. Out of warranty repairs will be chasing you. From a multi ten year old owner of Tesla's. Sure battery is fine, and you can drive for free. The other things catch up.

My first Tesla was a 2017 S - one of the last ones to be coded as SC01 IIRC.

Drove it for 200k+ miles before it was totaled out by insurance in 2023.

The only real complaint I had was the cooling system: pretty much anytime the front took an impact (i.e. early gen autopilot cursing straight into tire/road debris on the highway) the compressor would fail soon there after due to metal filings or what not.

Got an X in 2023 and drove it for ~200k miles until kicking over to the folks earlier this year. Had Free Supercharging on that one too and no real issues.

Anyways when I saw Tesla offering Luxe (and in my context FUSC was the key benefit here) I was mulling over buying another S - and was intending too - until the announcement Elon wanted to build Terminators vs S/Xs at Freemont, which left the CT as the only option.

Agnostic to the speed/hustle of the Cyberbeast, and truth be told, would rather trade the tri-motor pep for the dual motor's slightly greater range, but I digress...

Anywho the bottom line was if I wanted FUSC, and the S/X were off the table, there was only one option left. And when there's only one option, there's only one choice.

Had the CT for ~6 weeks now and TeslaFi reports total savings of $1,687.28 (~$281/week); assuming my driving trends hold it'll take a little more than a year to """save""" my way out of the cost delta for the $15k Luxe package, based solely on SC usage with no allotment made to the other perks.

Assuming I opt to replace the battery at the end of year 3 (my X by comparison is at ~68% of original capacity at the 3yr/210k mark), the "savings" from year 2 + year 3 offset that anticipated $29k cost.

300k is about what I see often on S. Again I read some dreamers here of 500k "I keep all my cars and trucks for a decades and a minimum of 500k".

Some of those people haven't been to that high miles or have they seen out of warranty costs from Tesla ever. Rude awakening 7 years from now at 500k.

From someone there with multi 10 year old Tesla's.

I call a lot of BS when I read those. Sure FUSC saves me a ton, yet later on you trade in some parts every now and then to keep it in good shape. Just a trade off.
