Tesla is offering free lifetime Supercharging for Cybertruck Foundation Series electric pickups sitting in inventory across the country. Earlier this month, we reported that the American EV maker has dozens of $100,000+ limited-edition Cybertrucks sitting unsold at delivery centers in the United States, and this latest perk might be a last-ditch effort to get rid of the costly EVs that are collecting dust.
As a reminder, the Foundation Series models were the first to be manufactured and delivered. They were introduced in the US until October, when the regular models went on sale, and were priced $20,000 higher. The additional cash allowed consumers to gain precedence benefits. delivery, lifetime use of Tesla’s complex suite of fully autonomous (supervised) driving assistance, a Powershare cellular connector and several options.
Those who ordered a new Cybertruck Foundation Series didn’t get life from Tesla’s Supercharger DC fast charger network, but the company is now offering it to others who want to get the Angular pickup from stock. However, there are some asterisks involved. .
According to the terms published on Tesla’s website, the order must be placed no later than December 27, 2024. The promotion is “subject to replacement or termination at any time,” which means the automaker can simply remove the perks overnight without notice. In addition, the be offer is connected to the owner’s Tesla account and cannot be transferred to any other vehicle, user, or order, even in the event of a change of ownership.
In other words, if the car is sold, the new owner will not get loose supercharging, as is the case with some older Model S electric cars, nor will the previous owner get loose supercharging in some other Tesla electric vehicle. Another attention-grabbing stipulation is that “Tesla reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove loose supercharging from your vehicle in the event of excessive loading or unpaid fees similar to supercharging. “
While cutting benefits for unpaid fees is quite reasonable, “overcharging” is arbitrary: there is no specific limit on kilowatt hours per charging query or per month, so it is up to the owner to know what to expect.
As of this writing, Tesla has two versions of the Cybertruck Foundation Series in stock: the $99,990 all-wheel drive with two electric motors and an EPA rating of up to 340 miles, and the $119,990 Cyberbeast, which comes with 3 engines. and an EPA of up to 320 miles.
That said, one could order a new, non-Foundation Series Cybertruck for $20,000 less and get delivery the same month. The optional extras are not included, but Tesla throws in three months of free Supercharging and a three-month trial of the so-called FSD (Supervised) feature.
