A Tesla Cybertruck Buyer Asks “What Did I Get Myself Into?” After Visiting a Tesla Delivery Center – Adds, “The Lot is Overrun With Cybertrucks; They’re Filthy, Rusted & Look Abandoned”

Dave, a Cybertruck buyer from Maryland, says he’s concerned after visiting a Tesla delivery center ahead of picking up his Cybertruck.

He adds that not only was the Tesla delivery center full of unsold Cybertrucks, but looking across the parking lot, the trucks appeared to have been sitting there for months.

These “brand-new” Cybertrucks, with their seats still covered in plastic, were filthy, had rusted brakes, and overall looked abandoned.

One Cybertruck was even covered in filth, had visibly rusted brake rotors, and had completely flat tires.

From the picture Dave drew, the Tesla delivery center looks less like an exciting place with brand-new vehicles and more like a junkyard filled with abandoned vehicles.

Dave says he visited the Tesla delivery center to pick up his brand-new Cybertruck; however, he is now reconsidering whether to proceed with his purchase.

The conflicted Cybertruck buyer shared his story on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum.

He writes…

“Disconcerting

I was supposed to pick up my new Cybertruck tomorrow. It was postponed because it was “delayed in transit.”

I was right by the Tesla dealership and stopped by just to see if it might be there.

There were 19 Cybertrucks. They were filthy, with rust on the brakes, and one brand new one was not only dirty but also had a flat tire.

They looked like they had been sitting for months. Some trucks have the same specs as I ordered.

These were new, with the plastic still on the seats. No plates. They looked abandoned.

I can’t believe the manager of that location allows the inventory to be left in that condition.

No other brand would do that. Gives me pause about the state of the brand. It was like a graveyard. This is a showroom and parking lot in a busy retail corridor.

What am I getting into…”

This is definitely not an ideal impression to leave on someone willing to pay $80,000 to over $100,000 for a vehicle.

However, looking at the comments, several Cybertruck owners, rather than trying to reassure the Cybertruck buyer, attacked Dave, claiming his story was false.

A fellow Cybertruck owner, Bob from Canada, calls Dave a troll, writing…

“Troll. Easy to recognize. Attacks the brand with clearly fabricated information. EVERY vehicle had something wrong with it? Not likely”

A second Cybertruck owner, Jacob from Oklahoma, seconds this sentiment, writing…

“I would like to see pictures of this alleged Cybertruck lot you mention, with rusting trucks and a neglected flat tire.

We see groups of inventory, but nothing as degraded as you're describing. I received mine in clean, pristine condition. I only had some complaints about sloppy panel alignment.”

In response, Dave says he’s actually taken a picture of the one Cybertruck with flat tires to show to his son.

As you can see, not only does the Cybertruck have flat tires, but the brakes are severely rusted, suggesting that this vehicle has probably been sitting on the lot for months.

Alongside his picture, Dave mentions that he supports Tesla and is an investor in the company. He’s also spending a significant amount of money to buy a Cybertruck. His goal is not to criticize Tesla but to point out areas where they can improve.

Dave writes…

“I love the Cybertruck, and hope to get my delivery today or tomorrow. My wrap/tint appointment is on Monday. The electrician is adding a 60-amp circuit and a Gen3 home Charger today. I am all in.

I don’t think the trucks were defective. I just thought they were dirty. Most car dealers do a better job of maintaining the appearance of the cars on their lot.

I think the manager needs to wash his inventory.

I wasn’t a Tesla fan. I didn’t get it. I have made a complete 180-degree turn and fully embraced the stock and their cars.”

Overall, despite Dave’s Tesla embrace, fellow Cybertruck owners don’t seem happy he’s criticizing the brand.
