Total Cap on Foundation Series?

[ttohumcu]

Does anyone know when Tesla is going to stop producing Foundation Series and go onto producing what was advertised 4 years ago. I believe Tesla proucted only 1000 of Signature Series for Model S. Are they plan to do the same so Foundation Series actually will become almost collectible item. Or would Elon continue to produce and sell for as long as people order Foundation Series?
Any ideas?

I believe they will ultimately offer the foundation series to all 2 million order holders, and once they have gone through them all then they will stop building foundation series

I'm sure it's a unique number they have. Do we know of any numbers Elon absolutely loves that would fit?

Yup agreed

As usual, sell until it stops.

So much for any theories that Tesla is any different than the old big auto companies morally. The the new car company smell and shine is gone.

There is no stated limit.

Tesla will produce FS units until production outpaces FS orders. Tesla will not sit on CTs in the lot waiting for FS orders.

Keep in mind, there is nothing to stop Tesla to make a second go-around of all 2 million orders after all have been invited for Foundation series at $20K over to make a second pass with the Cybertruck Special Edition, at just $10K over. Then make that offer to all of the remaining 2 million reservation-holders who did not bite on the $20K over Foundation series.

Then why not make a third pass, at $5K over, for the Cybertruck+. Plus what? Floor mats, extra wheel covers, coat hangers, etc.

It's just good business, extract the most value from people willing to buy the product. I think we won't see the "standard" configs actually go on-sale/available for order until 2027.

The problem with this logic is, there are not that many people that buy 100k vehicles. Because of this, production will outpace FS demand relatively quickly, assuming the ramp goes well.

Regular units will absolutely be available to order by late 2024 or early 2025 at the very latest. This is assuming no major production issues popping up of course.
