… Buying A Used Cyber Truck…With Tesla …Under Siege… Bad idea…Good idea.???…

[Willie B]

… A friend of mine just paid 70 grand for a highly optioned low mileage …Cyber Truck… as a …during the shit storm investment… What do you think… Bad idea???… good idea???… He has hidden the truck…

 

[Ultra...Good]

Where do you hide that thing?

 

[Willie B]

Where do you hide that thing?

… probably would not be a good idea to publicly state where it is hidden

I meant in general, not GPS coordinates. Sock drawer.

The loaded top of the line model (the Cyberbeast) is roughly $100,000 plus new. Lesser models start at $82k.

My guess is they lose north of $20,000 (in depreciation) as they are driven off the Dealer’s lot.

$70,000 for a used one doesn’t seem like a bargain.

I have driven one, and many owners have dumped them for the Hummer EV. It seems to be almost a worthless vehicle aside from a great canvas for an large business ad wrap. Interior is very plain, not of highest quality.

Unable to work protestors in stiletto heels in front of Tesla Dealerships holding up signs for 5 hours. It'll all pass.

Especially if they start getting $6k stimulus checks hell, they'll even start buying Tesla' at that point..

…My friend said it was a $125,000 truck with all the extras that it had added on…Friend at one time owned a Toyota dealership… So should have somewhat known what he was doing… Maybe …although his two sons are pissed st him for buying it…

 

[HNL2LHC]

Some of the $12k teslas sound like a deal I’d be willing to experiment on.…..$70k not sure I’d willing to give that a spin. But then again I question my direction on investments these days.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

I'm still waiting to see someone put the Back to the Future kit on one of those. $20 says that will be the remake movie time machine.

… Well my good old friend from high school days who doesn’t drive all that much anymore… Couldn’t resist the temptation… got out on the 101 freeway by Westlake Village and got a ticket for doing 100… last night…Said he probably was going quite a bit faster than 100 but the CHP just wrote him for 100… says he is a little concerned about jail time as his driving record is not what will you would call impeccable…

 

[Gramps]

Those trucks seem to be popular with the retired divorced male crowd, hanging out with the over 50 crowd (dance scene) in north Scottsdale. I just stumbled into it while trying out a Mexican restaurant, that happened to have $1 margaritas until 6pm.

 

[rivermobster]

Fugly AF.

That is all.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

I would probably buy one if the price was right. But I'm not gonna pay Raptor prices for one. No way..

 

[Willie B]

… This is the first one of these that I’ve seen that I like… I think it’s the rims that make it tolerable for me… my friend says that it also has a hard tonnue cover…

… if anybody is out near the Sagebrush Cantina this afternoon, it may be in the VIP parking…

… Neighbor Girl tried to get him to come over and pick us up in North Hollywood… It’s only 25 miles …but I don’t think said friend is all that confident in his 79-year-old driving skills…at this point
…

 

[Willie B]

… He got another ticket for 60 in a 35 Sunday… L A P D cop told him they specifically look for these cyber trucks… I really don’t think he should be driving at all and am going to discourage from bringing his cyber truck over here

That should be reserved for Rice Rd.

70k for an ice maker on wheels???

I’m sorry, I can’t find a single thing appealing about those things… sorry Sam

… I find those Tesla cyber trucks, astoundingly horrible looking… I find those rims horrible looking …but do they go together… double horrible …In my humble opinion, they look better than the factory rims,..

Forgiatos. Has there ever been good Forgiatos?

Those rims look like hubcaps from a 70's cadillac....just supersized

 

[Dana757]

I was reading that Tesla stopped taking those trucks for trade in. If that’s remotely true they seem like a very bad purchase.

 

[OCMerrill]

We live in the cheap seats of our city and on the street behind me there are two of those things.

Pile of Nope for me.

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

Spotted my first one in Baja this week ... down in Ensenada .... Cali plates

My buddy with the Rivian truck dumped it for the EHummer. I won't see it till making it to Big Bear

 

[Willie B]

… Got a call this morning from my friend with the Tesla truck …the whatever you call it… he told me that with all the options this particular truck was valued at $130,000 when it was new in 2024… then he said guess what I sold it for… I took a guess I missed it by $6000… He sold it for $97,000 cash…
… he had told me Sunday that he was going to start calling Tesla dealers this week… He knows how to speak to dealers since he was one… probably did a lot of dealer trades back in his Toyota dealership days… I forgot to ask him who he sold it to… A Tesla dealer a private party… I will ask him later today… good for him…

The 2026 models will bring in the rest of you.

I just saw that truck roll by my office on Ventura Blvd lol

I just saw that truck roll by my office on Ventura Blvd lol

… that’s where the truck lived during the short time my friend had it in a private parking structure right off of Ventura in Tarzana… 500 feet from his apartment..

… after I thought about what you posted for a minute, I suddenly realized… I wonder if he’s talking about the Edsel front end Tesla or the one my friend had… I took the front end as a photo shop… But the closer I look… It is possible that somebody did that atrocity to the original atrocity…

Tesla has stopped taking trade ins of their own trucks.

Tesla has $200mil in non sold trucks. The bottom has dropped out of those.


They are going to get a LOT cheaper very soon. 70k is WAY over priced IMHO.

Tesla Sitting On Thousands Of Unsold Cybertrucks As It Stops Accepting Its Own Cars As Trade-Ins - Jalopnik

Tesla can't find buyers for the current backlog of nearly 2,400, or $200 million worth of Cybertrucks, despite claiming over a million orders were received.

www.jalopnik.com

Tesla halts trade-ins for its own cars as Cybertrucks reportedly pile up in lots with thousands left unsold across U.S.

Tesla Cybertruck trade-in halt is making headlines as thousands of unsold units pile up in lots across the U.S. Once promoted as a revolutionary pickup, the Cybertruck is now facing falling sales, a 55% drop in resale value, and Teslas refusal to accept it as a trade-in. Even longtime Tesla fans...

… Oh no… Said friend has been offered another cyber truck… this one really looks like shit… the guy started out at 70,000 my friend countered with 55,000… I told my friend I wouldn’t offer more than 45,000… Said friend realizes this one has no zing to it… But I am a bit concerned said friend thinks he has a role going with these…

At the promised original price of $39,999. The "ice maker" on wheels was interesting.

Over $100k ?

Insanity.

 

[Willie B]

… Said friend bought the green and black one… Paid 52,000 for it… Sold it the same day for 59,000… So what’s that…like he’s made $34,000 in a week on the two of them…
… Now he is talking about buying and selling used airplanes… All I can say is slow down Rover… you are 79 and your health is worse than mine…

I want to buy one, just so I can catch someone keying it in person.
