Several Former Tesla Cybertruck Owners Share The Staggering Amount of Money They Lost When Selling Their Trucks – “$30,000 Gone in 2 Months”

I will not be surprised if these things depreciate like a lead balloon over the coming years.

Just think, a few months ago the CT was selling for way more than $102k. Some people bought them specifically to flip them for slit more than the price new. All because certain people don't want to wait in line. So, for those that paid over 150k to not have to wait, you have lost 60k so far. Why would anybody do anything like that.

Now that the cybertruck has been around for a while and Tesla is beginning to sell the AWD version for $79K, I would say the party is over for those that thought they could by their truck and then flip it for a profit. And personally I do not feel too bad for a person that could afford to buy any vehicle for a $100,000 and then is shocked to discover they can't sell it for the same price. Hey man, t's cool and all, but it's a used car.

So basically it's like every other used luxury truck/suv.

Anyone selling a 100k+ car after 1200 miles is a fool. Why buy something that much and change your mind after 2 months. People who can afford $90k for a used car can afford $110k for a new car. There is no wait anymore. The market where someone might sell a car close to what they paid for it is gone. This is not news.

This is a hit piece. I expect the cybertruck to depreciate. I bought it believing it would depreciate faster than average. I have now watched and read pieces like this one that cry about the the machines not going for 2x cost any more ... !? What vehicle in recent times appreciates in value after you drive it off the lot? My wife drives a minivan Pacifica. Her depreciation curve was much greater than the Cybertruck to date. Yesterday I let the truck drive me from Memphis to Springfield Missouri without any input from me. I smiled the entire way. Elon has figured out a better way to make cars and trucks. He doesn't advertise because his vehicles are better. You may not see it, but the market does.

The 80,000 truck I ordered after the CT was announced had 45% better specs than Cyberbeast across the board. The market for the truck, i believe will revert to the approximate expectations set at announcement. The CT is clever but not yet substantially considerable along side workhorse 150 or 1500 work trucks. I refused delivery of my order for price but mostly for shortfall of usability.

I'm not sure what's more ridiculous, the fact that people are somehow suddenly surprised when near $100k vehicles lose value the second they drive off the lot, or that someone thought this was a newsworthy story worth putting time into. Time to update the preferences to exclude torque"news".

The hype died quick, the actual releases cybertruck is a dud compared to what the prerelease promised.

Expect to see the prices keep dropping. People are not spending what they used to and the cybertruck does not do anything particularly well.

For one the car market is selfish taking a crash two it is a novelty car it's not practical three it's electric even though we've taken big strides in the past 10 years with electric it's still not worth it It takes 12 minerals to build an electric vehicle where an internal combustion takes two that being said it is extremely toxic to the environment to build a electric vehicle not to mention the carbon emissions that are put off just shipping the materials but yet we're supposed to believe the electric cars are going to save us no no they are not other technologies are needed and lithium is not the answer too expensive two toxic to the environment electro cars are novelties hopefully short-lived

Cyberstucks are only worth around 88 to 90 cents.

All cars depreciate hard initially. Mercedes, Audi, Tesla all the same. Only for a short period in the history of cars have they appreciated during the COVID period. So this is actually normal and not news.
You bought it and tried to sell it a few months later your going to take the biggest loss. Crying because of your decision and blaming others just shows how mature you are.

Psst, most Savvy people know that new 'standard' cars generally depreciate 20 to 25%, the moment you drive them off the Dealer's lot. How there may be exceptions for certain extraordinary vehicles, but that is a general rule of thumb. That is why I buy one and two year old used vehicles and let somebody take the depreciation hit. Point being that 30% for this e pickup is not too far off the general rule. Further, the issues people have with electric vehicles what's even more downward pressure on the resale price. Further, doesn't help that they are uglier than sin.

A dealership offering $88k is going to mark it up to $98k by the time it goes to market. There is an old saying about a fool and their money...

Oh my, rational choice theory out the door and straight into orbit (maybe glued onto one of those exploding Musk rockets?) when it comes to the fugliest most horribly overpriced uhmmm.. Tesla vehicle (for lack of a better word)?
What a shocker, ah!

Tesla-lovers, please please pick some worthy cause to give away your obviously unneeded loads of cash. There's so much you can do with the extra money you obviously do not need to make a difference in this world, why on Earth would anyone dish this amount of money on something so pointless and vain as a Tesla cybersomething? I don't get it.

This is surprising? The stat I've always heard is that new vehicles lose 30% of their value the moment you drive them out the lot. Maybe Tesla is just not getting special treatment from buyers any more.

A fool and his money are soon parted

A smooth talking swindler swindled dupes into believing the truck was some revolutionary invention...dupes surprised when they can't get their money back.

Oh no...

Welcome to the world of depreciation. Electric vehicles are known to have an immediate 30% drop in value once it hits the lot. Especially Cybertrucks that are flooding the used market because they're not cool anymore for their owners.

I hate that you all got taken by a con man. The trucks are ugly. I hear people all the time saying, “Why would you?” In reference to the drivers. I think Elon has some great people working for him. I think he’s a con man, a narcissist, and a bully. Who has no concept of empathy or compassion. Nor does he even know what life is about. I feel sad for him because he lives in a twisted self-made fantasy world.
