Ordered the Cyberbeast Foundation- Reconsidering .

[deneedle]

Did you do any of the Delivery Tasks? Did you get a VIN? You must have if they had a vehicle ready for pick-up. There's a "help" button, I'd hit that and see what's the holdup. I ordered on the 24th, and took delivery on the 31st.

Yeah- got a vin no- they said to wait while vehicle gets ready.

Just so you know, Tesla’s low APR deals are when you take delivery by a certain date. It was no coincidence they chose 3/31, that was the end of Q1 and they wanted as many deliveries as possible.

You’ll likely get 5.29%, not the 1.99% - don’t shoot the messenger, just giving you a heads up.

...negative press and the concern in some articles that they may scrap CT altogether.

Not going to happen any time soon.

People said the same thing about the Model X due to Falcon wing rear doors....back in 2018.

If you like it, buy one!

It’s hard for me to be objective here but a cyberbeast with free supercharging is my absolute dream car. There is literally nothing I’d rather drive.
second thoughts. No way man. It’s already a classic car.

If the OP ordered in the required timeframe, and ‘Tesla’ couldn’t deliver within that timeframe, then Tesla needs to honor the interest rate. But the OP is talking about much more than an interest rate or a delivery date; they are questioning the purchase, the company, and the country.

Laying it on a little thick there don’t you think?

A bit over the top (and why is ‘Tesla’ in quotes?)… but moving on. I hope he does get the low APR, but there’s never an order timeframe, just a delivery one. Tesla gets no credit for unfulfilled orders, or else they’d have “sold” 2 million CTs by now. Placing an order the day a promotion ends is a little silly. Any adult buying a $100K truck should know that. Even if he was at a service center and an unclaimed truck was there, stuff happens. You have to organize financing, getting an insurance policy on it, having all registered owners present for paperwork, a lot is involved.

CT isn’t for everyone. Honestly you need some thick skin to own one 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time you better be ready for it to be your whole personality as everyone and their Mom wants to check it out and talk about it. If someone has any doubts I’d say hold off for now. The hype is still real in Q2 2025.

I hope he gets it as well. All I’m saying is that even if he doesn’t he’s getting a killer deal on an awesome car in my opinion.
my only advice is…go one tiny step further and buy a powerwall 3 and Tesla wall connector right out of the gate. In your case, don’t even bother with solar.
Financially, you will not be sorry in my opinion.
I bought my FS two months before they started getting free supercharging but not directly from Tesla. from a person who ordered one and it wasn’t for him.
Saved a ton of money not paying taxes in Arizona because of the private sale but unfortunately I don’t have free SC.
That said, we have had free SC in our model x cars since 2016 and I think I’ve used about $35k of Tesla money in charging.
i also have powerwalls so if i had his car, Tesla would air condition my Arizona home for the next decade.
no mather the apr, the op will come out ahead in this deal if he uses it correctly

I say powerwall 3 because in my opinion this will prove to be a much more cost effective way to use his free energy in the medium to long term than than a highway robbery qmerit PowerShare installation with a PowerShare gateway.

Thank you for the comments - Tesla is honoring the 1.9 APR and free supercharging. Glad to know everyone is happy with thier purchase . Gonna stay the course . Good luck out there .

After nearly a year, we still love ours. The early Powershare + install credit package worked well for us, but likely would have picked Free Supercharging and better interest rate if that had been available at the time.

Waiting for those Q2 incentives in June ? hoping for 0% or a 5k price drop.

I still think the free supercharging in a car that charges that fast and can basically power anything.external is a game changing incentive. Personally, if I was anywhere close to needing a cybertruck I’d take that over any possible incentive that may be forthcoming.
For the right user, It’s a much bigger “gift” than I hear anyone giving it credit for.

I’m sure MANY horse and buggy drivers gave the one finger salute to new-fangled automobile drivers. Those smelly noisy contraptions upset the apple cart.

I hope angry ICE car owners see the irony in the above analogy.

Depends on how often you plan to super charge. Most owners will charge at home and only supercharge on their yearly road trip. But it all depends on your intended use. So each incentive has its own group of buyers I suppose.

I ordered the Cyberbeast Foundation on March 31 to take advantage of the APR. While ordering it said the CT was ready to pick up, but since ordered , they say the vehicle is not ready and will not let me proceed with pre-delivery tasks. I was really excited when I ordered, but now having second thoughts with the negative press and the concern in some articles that they may scrap CT altogether. I still love everything about it, and want to get the black matte wrap.

Got my CB Foundation in September and not a day have I regretted since. I’ve not had a single problem so far. Drive it everywhere…
