Hey everyone, DennisCW here! I’m excited to dive into some fresh news about Tesla’s trade-in program for the Cybertruck. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s a good idea to sell your Cybertruck back to Tesla, or if you’re just curious about the current offers, stick around. I’ve got the latest details, some personal insights, and a bonus tip on an essential Tesla accessory. Let’s get into it!
Tesla has finally started accepting trade-ins for the Foundation Series Cybertruck, and the offers are surprisingly higher than I expected. For instance, Jeremy, a fellow Tesla owner, shared that Tesla offered him $66,000 for his Cybertruck with 14,550 miles on it. Another owner received an offer of $61,000 for a Cybertruck with 30,000 miles. Most of these trade-in values seem to fall in the $60,000 to $65,000 range, which is pretty impressive for a vehicle that’s been driven quite a bit.
I’ll be honest—I didn’t think Tesla would offer this much for used Cybertrucks. It’s a pleasant surprise, but as with anything Tesla-related, there are some important caveats to consider before jumping on these offers.
While these numbers sound enticing, there’s a big concern when trading in with Tesla: values can change rapidly. Tesla’s trade-in offers are based on the condition and market value of the vehicle on the day of the offer. If it takes a few weeks (or even just a few days) to finalize the trade-in or take delivery of your new Tesla, the value they initially quoted could drop significantly. I’ve seen this happen to many Tesla owners, and it can be frustrating to lock in a number only to have it adjusted later.
This is why I often recommend exploring other options for selling or trading in your vehicle. Platforms like Carvana, CarMax, Carar USA, or even your local dealer might provide more stable offers. Unless you’re in a state that offers a trade-in tax credit (which not all states do), selling to Tesla might not be the most financially sound decision. If you’re unsure whether your state provides this credit, I highly encourage you to look into it—it could save you a significant amount on taxes when trading in.
Personally, I’d approach Tesla’s trade-in program with caution. While the initial offers of $60,000+ for a used Cybertruck are tempting, the potential for value fluctuations makes it a risky choice. If you’re set on upgrading to a new Tesla and want to trade in your Cybertruck, make sure you’re aware of the timing and potential changes in the offer. Otherwise, consider third-party options for a more predictable transaction.
I’d love to hear your thoughts! Are you considering trading in your Cybertruck to Tesla? Have you received an offer, and if so, what was it? Drop a comment below and let’s discuss.
Before I wrap up, I want to share a quick tip for all Tesla owners out there. If you’re buying a new Tesla (or just want to protect your current one), it’s worth noting that Tesla vehicles don’t come with all-weather floor mats. After testing numerous brands like 3D Maxpider USA, Tesmanian, and various Amazon options, I’ve found my absolute favorite: 3W Liners.
These floor mats are hands-down the best I’ve used. I’ve got them installed in my Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and even my Cybertruck. They’re durable, fit perfectly, and provide excellent protection against dirt, mud, and spills. The best part? You can grab a set for under $100 using my promo code, which also saves you 25% off and supports the channel. Check out the link in the description below to get yours from our partner, 3W Liners.
Tesla’s trade-in offers for the Cybertruck are a step in the right direction, with values ranging from $60,000 to $65,000 depending on mileage and condition. However, the fluctuating nature of Tesla’s offers means you need to proceed with caution. Explore all your options, including third-party platforms, and don’t forget to check if your state offers a trade-in tax credit.
