Pre-purchase question about reliability : Foundation vs 'Regular'

[btcrealm]

Anything still in inventory is at the end of the foundation series builds. This means most of the "figuring it out" recalls have already been dealt with. If yours does happen to have a problem Tesla will fix it.
I've told everyone that was interested "If you don't want to be a beta tester wait until at least middle of 2025". So in this case anything that is just changed over from foundation to standard may have a few quirks as well. But again Tesla should deal with them.

There are very few cybertrucks that have had major problems. Its just that those get all the attention.

AWD FS vin 7xxx. Only service visit was to have them level the steering wheel, it was a little left bias when at 0° steer. Wife says she can hear some squeaks from the passenger seat.

Orders for the 'normal' all wheel drive version of Cybertruck started in Canada about 2 weeks ago.

At the same time, Tesla dropped the price for Foundation models to clear them out. For example, a Foundation edition is about $3,000 less than a 'normal' version if you add all the same accessories... plus the Foundation edition comes with the option for a free wrap (estimated value of $4,000). So, it is tempting to dump my 'normal' order and purchase an inventory Foundation.

From my very limited knowledge, I speculate the Foundation editions in Canada have a VIN around 45,000 versus a 'normal' version with a VIN around 66,000.

VIN 45,000 is hopefully high enough that Tesla made some fixes, but would a VIN 66,000 Cybertruck be noticeably more reliable?
(eg. Tonneau cover, heater noise, wipers, windshield cracking, etc...)

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Got the CB Foundation in July 2024 and have not had any issues at all. Just tire rotation! , now with 10K miles.

My AWD FS VIN is just sub 10,000 and I have had no real issues with my truck; it’s been wonderful.
