Post your Cybertruck trade-in stories

[ch7on7]

Traded my 2024 FS AWD with 28k miles for 2026 CB with luxe package, and it went extremely smooth. Got 75,100 trade offer and I’m very pleased! In fact I felt like I shouldn’t have traded it because they seemed too eager to take my trade. I was shocked at the offer amount since I was
getting free super charging for life and a Cyber Beast for 114,000, less than the original FS cyberbeast price of 120,000 and all I’m missing is a few bed hooks but got free super charging.

What do they plan on doing with these trade ins? Sell over seas for much more?
Am I missing something here or was I the only guy to get such a great deal?

Not to rain on your parade but...

So you paid around $102,000 for the 2024 FS AWD. I trust you were able to transfer the FSD over to the 2026 CB.
You got about 75,100 for the 2024 and you paid 114,000 for the 2026 + restarted the warranty + luxe pkg which included Supercharging for life.

So a 2026 CyberBEAST + the restart of the warranty and the SC for live cost you: $38,900. Yeah, a bit to steep for my taste even with the free supercharging. Don't know about the other charges that might have been thrown in. Tax on the difference might be a couple/few thousand + registration. Yeah, still to salty for me.

Hope you like it. I'm sure just the BEAST alone is worth it to you.

Yes it is because I’m pulling a RV that requires charging every 100-150 miles. A trip out west and back alone would be about 1500.00. That being said you forgot the two years of use which my payoff was less than what I received. Basically I started over at 110k with free sc for life and FSD in the luxe pkg. I’ll recoup the extra 10k in about 3 years. Plus I just love the product.

In my case I saved over $7,000 in taxes, transferred my FSD to my wife’s Model Y saving $8,000 and use the Beast in my business so I get accelerated depreciation, it was a bargain as far as I’m concerned.

Exactly! I didn’t pay taxes either using my military benefits, and got a 1500 discount from referral and loyalty credits. I would have still done Even without the credits. The free SC is the big bonus for me. I’m retired and drive a lot

Curious about your trailering.

With the Beast pulling a trailer do you feel any difference with the predomint front wheel drive on the 2026 Beast over the predomint rear wheel drive on the 2024 FS AWD?

I pull an Airstream Basecamp 20 with my 2024 FS AWD. I keep the speed between 55 & 60. You wouldn't even know the trailer is hooked up. Also plug the Airstream into the CT for power. Works like a charm.

I just picked it up yesterday so I hang pulled with the beast yet. The awd worked like a charm. I didn’t have any issues with it at all and my trailer is 10300 lbs. I have to empty it an keep that dry weight though.

The weight balancers are definitely a must to lower the tongue weight. Also have to be creative to charge without unhooking it

Nice!

As usual the rapid depreciation narrative didn't hold water. Of course it's going to have new vehicle depreciation, it's always quickest in the first years and all new vehicles do it. Otherwise you would be driving for free! And it was always obvious the Foundation Series "early adopter" fee was going to make it worse, but it's nice it sold for only $4K less than a new Dual Motor with zero miles and a new warranty and new tires.

I have too many good memories in mine to trade it in on a new one (and I would have to add a couple of custom mods to replace the ones I traded in).

 

[mkdphx]

The crazy part of the trade-in was that my original trade-in offer was for $65,000, but due to delays in getting the new beast it expired after 30 days and the new offer was $11,000 more!

Hooly mooly that's a BIG HONKING TRAILER! ! !

Mine would be lost in the shadows!

Nice job at charging without disconnecting. I'll have to try that next time I'm out with the trailer.

Yes that exact thing happened to me too. My first offer was 65,000. That’s why I’m curious what are they gonna do with them. Apparently they have a market for them somewhere for prob 86k

Is that a light blue wrap. Looks great. Thinking about that color for my new beast
