If you’re looking for a Cybertruck, you’re in luck! Tesla recently announced that anyone who orders a Cybertruck Foundation Series on or after December 27, 2024, will benefit from free lifetime Supercharging.
The Foundation Series were the first examples to roll off the assembly line back in October, similar to the Xbox One Day One Edition. The privilege of owning one of the first Cybertrucks came with a $20,000 extra along with priority delivery, lifetime use of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving suite, a Powershare mobile connector, and a handful of options.

Tesla
The offer is assigned to the Cybertruck and its first owner
If you do decide to take advantage of this offer, you better hold on to your Cybertruck. The lifetime charging is attached to the owner’s account and cannot be transferred to someone else or another Tesla. In other words, if you sell your truck later, the new owner will not benefit from the lifetime charging, nor will any other Tesla you buy afterward.
The fine print gets a little weird
InsideEVs also noticed a few other questionable stipulations in the offer. One point states that the “promotion is subject to change or end at any time” and that “Tesla reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove the free Supercharging from your vehicle in the event of excessive charging or unpaid fees related to Supercharging.”
That second one is especially questionable. What charging limit? There is no charging limit currently in place at Tesla Superchargers. Can they just yank your benefits if they decide you use your Cybertruck too much? That seems a little anti-consumer like the manufacturer still holds some control over your vehicle.

Final thoughts
That, of course, brings us to the big question. Why is Tesla doing this? There is no concrete reason given, and there likely never will be. Some are speculating that Tesla is trying even harder to sell their Cybertrucks as soon as possible, which, if you’ve read our other piece on the lingering Cybertruck inventory, would not be surprising.
There are two versions of the Cybertruck Foundation Series: the $99,990 All-Wheel Drive, which has two electric motors and an EPA range of up to 340 miles, and the $119,990 Cyberbeast, which has three motors and an EPA range of up to 320 miles.

That’s a hell of a lot of dough for what is arguably one of the ugliest automobiles to ever roll out of a factory. A lifetime of Supercharging could easily offset the extra cost, though, but given Tesla’s arbitrary charging limit, the looming anxiety might make that not as worth it.
