Fuck Cars

"I can't give this thing away." - Guy who is asking $89,000 for a used vehicle that now sells new for $72,500.

Don't buy vehicles from a company led by an unstable Nazi CEO, dipshit.

"can't give this thing away unless I lower the price to probably $79k. Sucks."

A brand new AWD CT from Tesla is $79,990.

Headline is clickbait. Seller is a whinger. Trash all round. Saved you a click.

Between price drops and the cybertruck recently qualifying for the federal EV tax credit, buyers can get a brand new unit for what this guy is asking. This early adopter paid too much and got a bad deal, but there's no mystery as to why no one wants to buy at his asking price.

Sledder also shares that over his lifetime, - he has driven and sold over 40 exotic cars, and the Cybertruck is the one vehicle he is having the most trouble finding buyers for.

Oh, I'm so sorry sir, it's frightfully unfair that this particular transaction has not worked out as favorablly as you're used to. Would you care for a sparkling beverage while Life figures out how to make itself better for you?

you can buy a brand-new Cybertruck straight from the manufacturer cheaper than Sledder is asking to sell his used truck.

Wow I wonder why there's no takers

“I've owned it for 8 months. It is depreciating like a rock. I have already lost over $20k in 8 months. I want to cut my losses and move on, but I can't give this thing away unless I lower the price to probably $79k. Sucks.”

This right here sums up the unrealistic expectations of the average Tesla owner. Cars immediately depreciate the moment you drive them off the lot, no car is immune to this. The average new car loses 10% in the first month after buying it. It loses over 20% in the first year. For those who are playing along this track's with exactly how much this doofus has "lost" on his truck.

...he has driven and sold over 40 exotic cars, and the Cybertruck is the one vehicle he is having the most trouble finding buyers for.

Not saying the Cybertruck is a good thing, personally IDGAF about it, but calling this guy merely "a cybertruck owner" is bullshit. He's a guy who makes money buying and selling expensive vehicles, and he's whining about a deal that hasn't worked out for him. Poor baby.

Off topic: it looks waaaaay better in black. 😳

The Cybertruck owner listed his truck for sale for $89,000.

The same dual-motor Cybertruck AWD variant now starts at $80,000. However, starting in 2025, the vehicle qualifies for the $7,500 point of sale tax credit. This further lowers the starting price to $72,500.

Tesla is also now offering a $2,000 discount to anyone who applies a referral code when buying the vehicle. That further lowers the starting price to $70,500.

LOLOL.

Everyone expects top dollar for used shit these days.

No one will buy a used car for more than they can get a new one. Who knew?

My first thought was "Really? Even a chop shop style place won't take it?" And reading it is like "Oh he doesn't want to cut the price so much but might now" so yeah.

From the article:

The Cybertruck owner listed his truck for sale for $89,000. He thinks this is a fair price [...] if you added every optional extra that Tesla currently offers for the Cybertruck, given the $7,500 tax credit and the $2000 referral discount, (a brand new 2025) Cybertruck will still only cost around $86,000.

Nobody with a brain would pay more for a used vehicle. It's not a collectible. "Founder's edition" nowadays means "beta version" and it's not something that's worth more.

Apparently Elon unfollowed MKBHD after he posted selling his Founders Cybertruck at a $50K loss and saying the Rivian RT1 was a better truck lol.

Help

No.

"I can't give this thing away."

FTA: He's not trying to give it away. He's expecting last year's used market value for it, but it's steadily depreciating. Someone offered him 50k for it. He overpaid for a new car.

idiot wants brand new value for his used vehicle. i hate these things, but this doesnt match reality on non-tesla vehicles let a lone one thats now nazi-based.

I can think of one way to get rid of it. Saw it on the news last week. He's probably not going to like it.

There is a Tesla dealership near my house that has a lot full of them. A ridiculous number. It seems that Tesla is struggling to get rid of them. Hard to believe that there is not a huge market for electric dumpsters sold by a conspicuous asshole.

Expensive lesson, try not being a sucker next time.

"Oh no my shitty car depreciated" god who would have guessed

Pictured: typical parking job from cyber truck owner.

Park it front of a hotel with something something has a fuse

A fool and his money...

He's lost over $10 grand for every thousand miles he's driven. Or you could express that as $5 grand per month he's owned it. Might even be worse depending on his financing.

I guess this is another reminder that brand new cars can depreciate hard. Absolutely terrible way to rent a car for 8 months.

That one is not as bad looking as the rest but it still screams 3rd grade art project

the shitposter in me wants to say that this isn't a problem you find a solution to, its karma for doing business with the devil.

Right up there with beanie baby sellers on eBay, lmao.

I refuse to believe you can't find a Bigger Idiot to buy your used Cybertruck.

I'll take it for free, I suspect a Cybertruck might be fun to paint in dazzle camouflage, at least it'll hide the shape

Have you tried exploding it?
