Officially changed my order to non-foundation

[vinsk]

I have been sitting on my RN11277#### order to design a FS for all the same reasons you explained. When I first received the ability to order it was very difficult to "HOLD" but the numbers didn't make sense to me (and I really want the tax credit, it is like a badge of honor to hold back from Uncle Sam), especially when I started hearing owners were not even getting some of the options paid for like light bar and FSD. So I made the decision to wait for Non FS models.

Are you saying I have to call Tesla and get this switched to a Non FS? I can't just let this order sit in my app and await the release of the Non FS?

If so, what number did you call? Thank you for the heads up!!

As far as my understanding goes, You don't need to do anything. You'll be pretty much at the front for the Non-FS orders.

Well after the price drops and value assessment of what Foundation AWD had to offer, plus the additional 6k to install my “free power share” (I already have a wall charger), I called today and changed my configuration to non foundation. It was no problem, and they will adjust the config and update the timeline. Likely Q4 ‘25, in Tesla translation I take that to Q2-3 of ‘26.

None of the issues really bothered me, but paying and then not getting FSD until some unknown date, the additional cost of powershare install, and the minimal other “perks” of the foundation did not make sense. No digs at anyone who has it, I still love it, but I am going to wait it out. Hopefully by then most of the small bugs will get worked out as well. RN 11285xxxx. I’m not sure how many other people have done this but at the end of the day I’m glad they didn’t meet there. Jan to March delivery window for me. Allowed me to calc it out. Most people, including myself originally just pushed aside the 20 K plus up as a way to get it early and the perc didn’t matter much. I think as they get further down the reservation line and people start thinking it over because of the time they have to decide there may be more of this. Also, FYI, it appears as though I get to keep my order it just changes my config to non-foundation and pushes out any timelines to whenever they start making them.

does it show on hold in yoour account?

wouldnt it be wild if the people switchiing. from FS got their non-fs before the FS skippers? lol

This is a silly post IMO, its not a good deal. FSD isnt on the truck, it has less range than non-FS (due to tires), wall chargers are cheap now and all the accessories they throw in will have cheaper versions aftermarket.

The only part that may be a good deal is the powershare install but only if you get the beast.

Did you do the math with FSD only costing 8k? Did you include tax incentives in your math?

It may have more stuff than the R1T, thats true. But does the price difference justify it? This one does qualify

for taxx incentive and is much quicker than the FS AWD

Here's another.

78,000. - 3750 - 5000 (colorado) = 69,250
69,250 vs 100,000 minimum.

Once Non-FS comes out, that will be a good deal.

I do agree though, if you're daddy warbucks, get that ish

Their software is actually pretty close to teslas, have you tried it recently? Especially the offroad software (which is better)

Rivian literally has access to tesla's supercharger network. AND the rivian adventure network.

If 20k + lost tax incentives + extra tax is a few dollars to you then I guess it wouldnt make sense to wait.

Tsportline isnt the only place with accessories.

CT is the better truck, IMO whichis why im still holding out, but the value proposition cant be ignored. If you look at just the specs, you can get more range, quicker speed and equal towing capacity for tens of thousands less than CT.

My fingers are crossed that it wont be "years" to wait.

I think most V3 are open and v2 are off limits.

But being able to not take bank loans on a 100k car makes 20k not the same to everyone. For some people, no matter how hard you work, that's just not achievable. Totally depends on life circumstances.

I'm one of those bleeding edge tech guys, that's why I wanted to be early in the CT. But for me, at some point logic has to fight with my want to have something new. And 32,500 over the actual cost is that line for me. (Tax incentives included).

For 100k, you could get a model x and a model Y new.

What part of PA are you in? I am not far behind you, RN11288, submitted my order 2/28 with March - May delivery. Did you have a VIN prior to changing your order? I am on the fence now as well, given how much my 1 year old model 3 performance has depreciated in less than 12 months... makes me sick trading this thing in (which I only bought to hold me over until my truck came) and eating all the extra costs out of pocket for FS and trade in depreciation.

I’ve psychologically convinced myself loosing 20k+ on the FS. Also used tricks on myself like “You live only once”, “will work harder” and many more to sweeten the deal.

Same here a bit. Confirmed my order today on 4/26/24. I'm also justifying it a ton by saying, its like getting another 8 powerwalls on top of our existing 4 which is worth like $50K+.

 

[skinzy]

Smart move! I’d do the same if I wasn’t 73. Time is valuable to me. What’s another year or so to get a better product at a lower price. It’s a no brainer.

 

[HyperReality]

How exactly did you change your order to a non-FS? Sounds like you still lose $1000.

Well *}+k. They got me. Called today to update and confirm for the thread, low and behold… got a vin starting delivery. No proof my call did anything,I certainly was losing hope and the anxiety alone was killing me since I already offloaded a car. Seems odd to me that the day after I jumped the gun to change, poof. - VIN 61xx. Please don’t take this as an assumption that my call did anything I was coming up on 90 days which is around or close to the average. All those posting about the money yeah I have it. I was just going all fiscally responsible justifying my decision to get rid of waiting. I was going to lease an S class to kill the time. If it took them two more days, that car would already be in my driveway. Ordered 2/1/24 VIN 4/26. If delivery happens quickly I firmly believe I literally jumped the gun by a day. If it doesn’t, I’ll let everybody know.

I’d be curious to know who/what number you called as I’m thinking the same thing, paid my $1,000 on April 2nd for Cyberbeast. The money isn’t an issue I’m more concerned with potential issues getting ironed out without paying $20k to be the beta tester.

Called the number on the manage order link
