Tesla Quietly Starts Taking Cybertruck Trade-Ins and Confirms What We All Know
- Tesla began accepting trade-ins for its Cybertruck in early 2025 after not allowing them for the first year since its late 2023 launch.
- This change followed speculation that Tesla avoided trade-ins to hide steep depreciation and weakening demand for the electric pickup truck.
- A reported trade-in offer for a 2024 Foundation Series Cybertruck with about 6,200 miles valued the vehicle at $65,400, showing a roughly 35% drop from its $100,000 original price.
- This depreciation far exceeds typical truck losses, with actual declines possibly closer to 45%, while high unsold inventory and sales declines deepen concerns.
- The move to accept trade-ins indicates Tesla’s acknowledgment of the Cybertruck’s market challenges and may reflect waning popularity amid recalls and negative public sentiment.
