Tesla Opens Purchase Channel of Cybertruck Foundation Series in US

TapTechNews August 11th news, Tesla has recently opened the purchase channel of the Cybertruck Foundation Series on its official website, which means that consumers can buy the first-release model of this electric pickup without having to make an appointment anymore. However, this limited-edition model will only be supplied in the next few months.

TapTechNews noticed that consumers can now directly purchase the Cybertruck Foundation Series through the vehicle configurator on Tesla's US official website, and the page also shows that the dual-motor all-wheel drive version is expected to be delivered in September, and the three-motor Cyberbeast version is expected to be delivered in December.

Tesla previously described the Foundation Series as a limited-edition Cybertruck, available only in the first year, and there have been continuous rumors before about when Tesla will stop producing the Foundation Series. In May this year, there was news that the Foundation Series was about to be discontinued, but Siddhant Awasthi, the Tesla Cybertruck vehicle project manager, denied this, stating that the Foundation Series is still in active production. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also said at this year's general meeting: We will soon end the production of the Foundation Series and launch a non-Foundation Series model in the next quarter.

However, after Musk's statement, Tesla quietly modified the wording of the Cybertruck order invitation, stating that due to the high demand for electric vehicles, it is expected that only the Foundation Series model will be delivered before the end of 2024.

Tesla has started delivering the Foundation Series Cybertruck since the launch event in November last year and then gradually expanded the delivery range.
