A Cybertruck Buyer Says Tesla is Trying to Sell Him a Cybertruck That Has Been Sitting on the Lot for 4 Months – Adds “The Truck Was Built on January 8th”

Purchased a Y 12/30/24. Noticed paint damage, missing base paint spots and poor seam alignment. 1/30/25 dropped off at collision center. Not completed. Returned Y February and again March. Finally picked up April. Had free supercharging but could only use on rental not loaner cars. Wanted Auto drive three months transferred to my Model 3 sold to my son Feb. since it’s auto drive transferred in December to Y. Therefore, free charging and free three months of auto drive on cars did not happen.

So what's the big deal? Do they go stale?

Um does he not know that most cars sit for 6 months or longer

He isn't complaining that is was sitting on a lot for 4 months. What he is complaining about is that Tesla is selling cars sitting on lots, without doing all the recall work first. And that is a legitimate complaint. Tesla should be doing recalls on these vehicles first before matching them up with potential buyers.

People like you are the problem in America. Whining asses complaining about 4 months old car really. What don't u go directly to the manufacturer and wait at the end of the assembling line to pick it up then. Smh

This person is ridiculous.

And the first Ahole award goes to Reza...for being an entitled little baby about a overhyped piece of metal. It's less than 4 months old. This is how new car delivery works in the real world. Get some perspective. Get a life.

The second goes to Tinsae, the author of this article, for stealing comments off Facebook and trying to turn them into a news article. If you want to be a real journalist, hop off the keyboard and actually go out and do some reaearch.

IF HE US BUYING A CYBER TRUCK HE IS AN IDIOT ANYWAY

I cannot believe anyone would think this is news. A Truck is not a loaf of bread that must be made daily.

Oh, Boo Hoo! You're right pal, somebody's gonna custom build one and damn near kill themselves getting it to your front door because you're just that special... 🙄

It speaks volumes to the perceived quality of the Tesla Cybertruck if customers are worried about taking delivery of a vehicle that has sat on a storage lot for 3 months. You shouldn't buy any Cybertruck if this concerns you!

Wow! You ordered a Wankpanzer and NOW you’re bitching because they have one ready? How old do you think a Japanese or South Korean car would be if you bought one made there? Good luck with that, you just put yourself on the list of potential deportees.

Should reword the title to. “Tesla customer refuses delivery of 2025 cybertruck, since it wasn’t straight off the assembly line”

It's a car, dude. Not mcdonald's fries. Walk onto any car dealer lot today and look at the 2025 vehicles, half or more were manufactured during last calendar year. Nothing to do with tesla, this guy is just ignorant of the entire topic of cars and purchasing.

I think this persons’ issue wasn’t that he wanted a brand new fresh off the production line Cyber truck because that’s how they expected it to be, or that is how cars are generally made and sold. They wanted it to be a safe, non-recalled or non-potentially broken one. It says in the article there was a recall on previous older models that made it unsafe. They wanted to make sure they were purchasing one made after the recall date so that they didn’t have to worry about dealing with the issue. I absolutely hate Teslas and cyber trucks and Musk but I understand why this person asked for a new production line model. I would too paying that much for a piece of crap vehicle =P

I'll just stick to not ever buying a Tesla.

These Tesla trucks are junk. Pieces fall off. It's not a real truck. It's junk. Buy a real truck like Ford, Chevy or Jeep.m

Why would you buy that thing? People hate them Watch a YouTube video.

January 8th? They could have at least given him the January 6th Commemorative Edition

I think some of you are missing the point that the truck that was assigned to him was built prior to a physical recall. I don't think it's unreasonable to want a vehicle that was built post-recall, if you are paying new vehicle price... but, honestly, I'm left wondering why the hell anyone would want a monstrosity like the Cybertruck in the first place? They're hideous, they're impractical, they're apparently poorly designed and poorly built... WHY would anyone blow that much money on one is beyond me

My previous vehicle was built mid June 2015 and was on the dealer's lot June 29th. I bought it March 16, 2016 as a leftover for nearly $9000 off sticker. Drove it for 5 years and 100,000 miles without issue. Oh wait, the check engine light came on once. At around 40,000 miles for a bad gas cap....

Why buy a truck that you can only unload from the rear as you can't reach over the sides very well and it doesn't seem to have the same load capacity as a normal pickup. Does it have ample tiedowns if your load is higher than the bedsides. Can it hold a full sheet of 4x8 plywood?

Not a single comment from someone who read the article. They have had recalls. The cars sitting for months have problems that need to get fixed and they even mess that up.

No one would care how long it's been sitting if its in good condition. They are being sold vehicles in poor condition. Allegedly

Has this guy read any news AT ALL lately? He's lucky he didn't get one older than 4 months to start with, and I'm surprised Tesla hasn't shutdown production entirely until they clear their lots. I suspect the buyer is one who cannot be satisfied regardless of how many different ways Tesla bends over backwards for him, and buyer's remorse will continue to drive him to refuse delivery.

I still do not understand what the problem is with the truck sitting on a lot before months. It is still a new vehicle whether it's sitting on the lot for 4 months 6 months 9 months or year it's still brand new never been driven so what is the problem? All auto makers deliver vehicles and have them sit at dealerships until sold many will sit for months before being sold so why is this a problem please help me understand.

I'll take that truck. I heard the price will be discounted and that's fine with me too.

There is nothing wrong with a vehicle that has been on the lot for 4 months, now the recall should have been done, but they don't sell that fast , so 4 months isn't, that doesn't mean it's something wrong with it, but I understand the customer, because of the Price

Besides a defect being present in a vehicle , I really think that demanding a 'built for you' vehicle is seriously entitled behaviour . 4 months is not long for a vehicle to sit, it's not unusual for most car makers to await full rail cars or transports to certain areas before shipping given allocations colours and option levels to dealers. It's still brand new if it hasn't been driven. I would start to worry about lot rot once they have been sitting 9 or more months.

That sounds ridiculous 4 months from factory to sale? What's the issue. This looks like a hit story.when you buy a car it has usually been built.many months before. You think you received an old truck? No miles

So, let me get this straight. You are getting the truck you ordered, right away, so you are rejecting it? You would rather wait months four months for them to build YOU, A NARCISSIT , a brand spanking new TODAY truck, than a brand new, made 4 months ago truck?
Am I correct?
