Tesla Starts Inviting Users to Configure Their Non-Foundation Series Cybertruck

Tesla has opened up its configurator for non-Foundation Series Cybertrucks to reservation holders in the United States. The non-Foundation Series doesn’t come with all of the extras of the Foundation Series, but it’s quite a bit cheaper.

The Foundation Series includes laser-etched badges on the exterior, an internal cabin graphic on the dash, FSD, lifetime Premium Connectivity, Powershare Mobile Connector + a discounted Powershare Install, $2,500 USD (or $3,500 CAD) of Tesla Shop Credit, and some additional premium accessories. The Foundation Series Cyberbeast also comes with the Off-Road Lightbar.

Although the non-Foundation Series vehicles will not include these additional features, you can add most of them a-la-carte, such as Premium Connectivity, Powershare Wall Connector, FSD and others. The special edition badging and early access are the major things you’ll be missing out on.

Non-Foundation Series

The AWD Cybertruck now starts at $79,990 in the US and is expected to start at $109,990 in Canada, while the Tri-motor Cyberbeast is available for $99,990 in the US or $135,990 in Canada.

The AWD Cybertruck is currently NOT eligible for the Federal EV Tax Rebate in the US. If it was, it would bring the at-purchase price down to $72,500. It seems it is only eligible for the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit, which can only be claimed when using the vehicle for commercial purposes.

In Canada, it is eligible for the Federal Heavy iZEV Rebate and excluded from the luxury tax due to its weight, thereby bringing the price down to $104,990 before tax—making it less expensive than the Model S or Model X Long Range.

It seems that Tesla intends to begin deliveries right away, as the emails state, “Your Cybertruck Is Ready for Delivery.” Tesla is likely sending these invites to early reservation holders who did not convert their orders to the Foundation Series and to those who made the $1,000 deposit for the Foundation Series but decided not to continue with those vehicles.

So far, these invites have only been sent to early reservation holders and will likely roll out further as orders are converted and stock becomes available. Tesla previously mentioned that they had over 2 million deposits for the Cybertruck, and that number was only climbing. We’re excited to see how fast they roll through the backlog.

Early reservation holders will also find the price of FSD maintained at $7,000 USD (FSD price history), as per the original booking price. The white interior costs an additional $2,000 USD, while changing from the Core Wheels to the Cyber Wheels is an additional $3,500 USD.

There is no news yet of these invites being sent out to Mexican or Canadian reservation holders at this time. The FS Cybertruck just began deliveries in Mexico, and they’re expected to begin deliveries in Canada around late October to early November.
