Parts content for the EV tax credit includes North American suppliers so that’s not the reason it currently does not qualify for the tax credit. I was told that Tesla is currently in the process of filing for the credit and it should be point of sale soon, but if you purchase prior to the POS being available you can still claim the credit on you personal tax return.
Well, I'm on your team for this one, my tax account said we will have to look into it,, little gray areas sometimes. I pick mine up on Monday... See what comes with it. I'll be happy just to have it, kids are using my EV SUV all the time.
Going back and forth to compare, the Foundation Series all wheel range with core/cyberwheels is 340/318, and for the non foundation series, it is 325/314. The Foundation Series Beast can ONLY be speced with the all terrain Cyberwheels and has 301 miles range. The same exact range for the Non Foundation Beast, except the NF Beast can be speced with Core wheels and get 320 miles range. It would appear they software lock the non foundation series All Wheel versions battery maybe 3 to 5 kw from the foundation series. Software upgrade in the future perhaps.
I’ve watched a ton of videos!!! In anticipation for my delivery date, This is the first one that really explains what I will be getting on my cybertruck! Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Premium connectivity is not included which is free internet for life in foundation series..that allows you to watch Netflix with car wifi, the back bed trunk also doesn’t have a divider.
I will be getting FSD at no charge with our trade-in since we can transfer FSD from our M3 so that saves us 8K. Not planning on getting the tax credit though.
The foundation series has a different operating system, same computer just tweaked operating system. It says that if you would look up the information.
Thanks for the video. I was wondering when these would come out and the differences. However if your not getting certain things then your not saving 20k your just missing some features and getting a lesser priced version. I personally don't see the value in a tesla without the self driving features which is what separates it from any other vehicle available for purchase. They all get you form A to B but the Tesla allows you to not have to use 100% of your attention all the time. Just my opinion
Don't forget the '$2500 dollar credit you also get toward merchandise or toward installing the house charging connection. Foundation series is definitely worth the additional $20,000., although I wish the foundation series would allow you to have autopilot or nothing
Mine was 8k too, even though I reserved within first minute of launch. I think you needed to select FSD at launch to get the lower the $7k price and I cannot recall whether I did or not.
And if you want FSD now you have to pay extra. This is a good video but I feel like the software needs to be included in order to get an understanding of the process difference
Exactly what I was going to point out-he didn’t mention the FSD and lifetime premium connectivity, which are very significant details when considering the Foundation Series Cybertruck.
Are you sure if the 79,900 is going to work for the tax credit, even if you buy it now that it is not in the list? And do you know where to buy the white decor after market?
There are companies locally offering wraps for white decor. Tax credit is only applicable for business buyers only. Hopefully it becomes available for everyone when it qualifies with IRS
Lots of people would pay $40,000 but at twice the price not so many. I think they cheaped out on the foundation Series. This is mid level vehicle at best. Great tech but not much more.
Thanks for the video and the explanation regarding the tax credit. I thought this would be eligible, but now I learned it's not (due to where the material comes from). But wasn't the requirement for eligibility based on where the batteries are manufactured? I thought the batteries are made in the US.
The word is that it does qualify but Tesla just hasn't gotten all the paperwork approved for point of sale rebate. You should be able to claim it on your taxes at the end of the year as a backup.
Well, Tesla are known for their legal trickery. Perhaps they nobble your battery capacity (and hence range) via a software update ... if they haven't yet done so, they may nobble it later with an OTA update. They'll legally cover themselves by saying you agreed to less range in your Non-Foundation purchase contract
Thanks for the vid. I think this is one of the first non-foundation reviews. Can you speak to the difference in the bed features? For example, which specific hooks are missing in non-foundation. Also any difference in outlets? What about trailer hitch? Thanks.
You forgot the PowerShare which is $2500. That comes with the Foundation series. I plan to use my voucher to purchase from the Tesla store when they finally get merchandise in stock.😂
Hi. Can you clarify what you meant by "they are having a hard time moving them."??? They can't get them delivered fast enough or are they not selling???
Except for the lesser range, the non-FS looks pretty good. $80K is kind of expensive for many people still, even though I am aware that the CT offers value greater than $80K. Congratulations?
@@MyGadgetsWorld you are tight on the range. Also, the wheel with the cover looks just fine - actually, it looks kind of better with the cover that the FS
I agree foundation is not worth $20,000 more especially when $7,000 of that is for FSD soft-ware that does not work and you have to babysit it like a bad learner driver. I know Tesla sent me a one month trial on my S and it was awful.
How does that compare to the foundation , Elon state that the dry cathode should be had better efficiency and charging speed is that true? @@MyGadgetsWorld
I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla changed the battery to a lower cost option. No way I buy a minimalistic $79.99k pickup with limited range and doesn't qualify for the tax credit.
Wonder how much efficiency you lose without the tire covers, + - at low speeds, Seeing most of use don't cruise at high speeds all the time. Must let more air flow though the tires, cooler brakes ?
Thanks for the video! I got invite but lacking tax credit is delaying my decision. I am not even sure if I can claim credit when filing tax as I don't see the truck on IRS list right now. Part of the reason I didn't do F version is because of tax - just don't feel right not to get it. I will wait a bit.
Bro, you need to get of the "Indian News channel script". You are repeating the same thing again and again. Keep it simple and precise and not repetitive.
Everyone know what's going on Elon has the range restricted locked behind a pay wall just like he did the new Model Y he reduced the range to 279 when they at first where all over 300+ and told people they can get extra range for $1000 0r more I forgot the exact amount but he will do the same with the Cyber Truck wait awhile and then tell people they can add more range for some more money.
I am glad the video maker told us that this Non Foundation version does not have a Foundation badge ! It also does not have a Ford badge…. But then it is not a Ford either
Video: "Let's see if it's worth -$20,000 less." Dunno if it's a better value being less, but it's still not worth $80,000 USD in any case imo. Doesn't seem like a good value, but I think people who buy Cybertrucks mainly (but not only) buy them for ego/prestige, not for value so that's not important overall.

@@MyGadgetsWorld Hi. Can you clarify what you meant by "they are having a hard time moving them."??? They can't get them delivered fast enough or are they not selling???
Or they can just slow down production that they did for model x and s and focused on volume selling model 3 and Model Y. I don’t see new one dropping so low, but yes used car market will be flooded.
Four things happened. 1. You’re referring to the rear wheel drive single motor which is not out yet. 2. Cyber truck has several features, not promised in the beginning, such as steer by wire and 4 wheel steering. 3. Gross overspending by the Biden Harris administration has caused inflation. Compound inflation of the last four years has raised prices approximately 25%. 4. Higher than expected demand as well as likely higher cost of production causes high prices. Expect new cyber truck prices to fall in a couple years when they’re at full production, and most of the hype and early excitement is gone. The S and X are much cheaper than I used to be.
That’s why no one forces anyone to buy what you want to buy :) I love interior on other cars I have but this one is best because that’s why you are here, it is unique
Kind of shitty that Tesla put a smaller battery and tires on the truck. They are already WAYYY over the price they advertised, with shittier specs to boot. I'm disappointed with Tesla's frailer to deliver what was advertise by a huge margin. Great video, thanks for giving us on the fence the scoop.
Good drive one first. One will get updates and one may not one has fsd and one doesn't for me I love driving my cyber truck every day. It is a truck that drives like a car . And once you experience steer by wire it makes you other cars feel old.
@@LaJuanHughesSupercruise is a better driver assist than FSD. Every independent test says so. Steer by wire fails if the truck loses power, which has already happened to several people. Over the air updates are not unique to Tesla.
Clarification: Range on non-foundation with Core Wheels is 325* miles vs Foundation has 340 miles with Core Wheels and All Season Tires Combo.
This is not true. It’s 340 for all wheel drive and 320 for cyber beast. No change from foundation.
So glad I found this video!!
Seems like a scam to me. I’m still holding my reservation but with all these stupid changes I feel like Elon is scamming now
Great info!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Thank you, so much!!!
Does it still have rear steering? Air suspension?
Looks so much better with the wheel cover removed.
I think so too!

As far as I have done some research it is new type battery “Dry Cathode” it is cost effective for Tesla and was supposed to be cheaper to repair.
