With the Tesla Cybertruck “mobile box” model being limited in production for about the next 18 months, buyers who want to get the car early will have to dig out their wallets to buy the most expensive special edition.

Tesla, shortly after launching the Cybertruck pickup, invited buyers to place orders for the limited edition Foundation Series. Basically, this is a commemorative version of the car’s launch with almost full equipment.

The price of the Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series version is $120,000, double the starting price of the standard version. If adding a “backup” battery helps improve operating range, the price of this version increases to more than 135,000 USD.

The biggest advantage of Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series buyers is not that the car is anything special, but simply that they… receive the car early. Specifically, 1,000 units of this limited edition can be delivered as early as December. Tesla will focus on producing this version while the regular version will have to wait later.

More importantly, regular production of the Tesla Cybertruck will be very limited until mid-2025. Only then will the vehicle assembly line be completed. This factor means that buyers will often have to wait a very long time, even until 2026, to receive their car even if they order it now.

Therefore, those who want to “take a shortcut” and get the car early have no choice but to spend twice as much money to buy the special edition.

According to the US electric vehicle website InsideEVs , this version is nothing special compared to the highest Cyberbeast configuration of the Cybertruck, at least according to available information. However, the early receiving factor alone ensures that 100% of the above limited edition will be sold out in just a few days.
