Tesla Starts Accepting Cybertruck Trade-Ins – According to Tesla, a Cybertruck Loses $35,000 Over 6,000 Miles ($5.6 Per Mile)

Is there any other company in the world that mistreats their customers with such regularity yet can still get those same customers to proclaim "I still love my Tesla!" and buy their product over and over. It's kind of weird.

Lol all the cyber bros bragging about the "cheap" cost of ownership need to factor that in.

It's been the rule forever that a new vehicle loses 1/3 of is value when you drive it off the lot. If a reseller is offering 2/3 of the sale price for a trade in, that's a good deal.

"Still love the truck, though"

These people are just so freaking pathetic.

Also if you factor in FSD transfer that adds a savings of 8000 on the price of new Tesla. This only helps if you were 100% getting FSD in new vehicle. Also no telling how long that the option to Transfer will last but it helps.

To Robert of Idaho,.. you believe you'll drive your Cybertruck until You die,?....
No, I don't think so.
You'll drive it until IT dies. By some accounts that may not take too long.

What a joke, did the guy even read the fine print?

"This estimate is not guaranteed and may differ from your final offer."

What a dumb article.

Vehicles typically lose nearly 50% of their value as soon as they're driven off the lot. This is not a newsworthy revelation.

The key here is "trade-in." That means that Vin is buying another new vehicle from Tesla, and they're paying him a bonus to do so. Not so from Carvana, they're just buying the truck outright. Take that away, and the Carvana deal looks similar.

This is hilarious. Why wouldn't you sell it privately? Have you tried and nobody was willing to buy?;)

So as far as a *Scam is concerned.

All being said & accurately stated.

That is a scam <---

1.So you give me $1,00,000 dollars of you're hard earned money.
2.I give you $65,000 dollars back.

*So if ANYONE tries this there in trouble with the authorities.

That's a scam because of the amount of money lost compared to says a $8,000 deprecation or $10,000 being within less than a year.

So the facts are that Tesla is the got to for electronics & everything state of the art Batter operated.

Right & in the electronic field the fast pase of innovation is speeding up very rapidly.

Then the understanding of the deprecation should be accounted for being ahead of technology.

So it is not the technology that is surpassing the value of the Cyber truck it is the consumer that is losing interest.

Being a car manufacturer that type of loss shouldn't be acceptable loss.

But it is an acceptable loss meaning that trying your best is not going to get you or anyone out of the scam that is taking place.

Because of the drop in value is not an acceptable one being a price lock on something brand new.

So for that type of loss is a scam meaning the company has over valued their assets.

And in order to retain their value the company has to in America make it right.

Or it's a scam <---

And is and will be a scam until Tesla understands their an American company in America selling cars to America and abroad.

This is not news. Any car or truck loses 30% of its value as soon as it's driven off the lot. So ANY $100,000 car would be worth about $65-70k at this point. The owner is right to be happy about this offer, since Tesla can't even move it's inventory of NEW trucks...

The bulk of the "depreciation" comes from Teslas reduction in the price for new trucks. He may have paid $100k, but that same truck is a little over $72k. In reality he lost around $7k in depreciation. I'm sure he doesn't feel like that, but buying one now looks like a bargain.

Stuoidash tesla owners. this is exactly how you know the vehicle you bought is trash: the manufacturer decimates its value for a paltry number of miles driven. it’s Dogetard’s way of giving you the middle finger after railing you in the ash.

The number one rule of cults is that you don't know you're in a cult.

The Tesla Truck is the ugliest vehicle ever built in my view. I think we should all take pitty on the idiots that bought these POS!

KIND OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE EFFECIANTCY OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE?

Bummer. Carvana gave us roughly 35% on a 2019 Nissan Rouge, which we bought from Enterprise used in 2020 with 20k (ish, I'd have to look it up). We sold it mid/late 2024, with the mileage roughly doubled. Add in the decline of the resale market post-covid, and repaired damage (that wasn't technically an "accident"). Rough situation with the Cybertruck. Minus Elon's political swing, the automatic anti-Tesla vibe seemed a bit much. But then I took a quick look at the other EVs in the market. Hyundai's budget SUV has a 0-60 that absolutely nobody in that market needs. Volvo has magic high beams. Make car brands boring again I guess.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to be happy losing that much on a brand new vehicle.

Given that ANY new vehicle is considered used the moment it drives off the lot and looses 25-30% of it's value, that's not seriously all that bad. Good try making it seem as though the cyber truck is getting people ripped off.
Had this been written into the article, it would have been for more worthwhile to read.
Private sale, as long as competitive would result in a larger gain on the investment return.

Of course with all the anti Tesla. One would expect the market for Tesla to drop. And in battery replacement fears for used EVs.

Seems to me that you guys are intent on bashing Tesla whether or not Vin, an actual owner, is satisfied. I've never owned a Tesla but I have owned many Fords and Chevrolets and I think to be fair you should list the depreciation value on them along with Tesla. I believe you would find them comparable. No company gives great trade in values.

So, who are the chumps who laid down good dough on these silly vehicles...and why would you do that?

More veiled Tesla bashing. Try trading in your $100,000 car with 6,000 miles you'll get about the same probably.
