Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series has finally finished production and customers can now order the normal variant.
Their website has also been updated to show that the Cybertruck can now be ordered in its base form.
With the Foundation Series ending, people can now order the All Wheel Drive (AWD) variant of the base Tesla Cybertruck.
Although the base variant comes with a lower price, it can still be considered a premium vehicle.

Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series ends after 11 months
When the EV pickup truck was first announced, it was supposed to be significantly cheaper than the Foundation Series.
However, that didn’t have that much effect since celebrities and automobile enthusiasts alike were more than happy to spend money on the Cybertruck.
In the end, the Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series lasted for 11 months.
However, it seems the demand for the EV truck has dwindled a little.
Due to this, the company has also recently started offering the Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series in Canada and Mexico.
However, in the US, people can now order the base model with the AWD trim or the tri-motor Cyberbeast variant.
Non-Foundation Series Cybertruck
The base variant doesn’t include the cosmetic upgrades, premium accessories, and benefits that came with the Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series.
However, it is still $20,000 cheaper than the Foundation Series, for both variants.
The regular AWD version offers a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds, a 325-mile estimated range, and a towing capacity of 11,000 pounds.
However, if you want more speed, the Cyberbeast variant offers a 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds, while the range drops to 301 miles.
It seems that the company will still prioritize people who placed a reservation in 2023.
Many of them were invited to configure a non-Foundation Series Cybertruck, with a VIN issued a few days later.
