Unusual reason why Cybertruck owner sold his vehicle with just 463 miles on it less than a year after purchasing
When it comes to barging its way into the future, vehicles don't come much beefier than the Cybertruck.
Tesla's armored pickup is a vehicle that continues to divide its fans and critics in equal measure - From the fact it might not be as bulletproof as it suggests to the man who broke his own windshield by walking on it, we'd be lying if we pretended we didn't find all those Cybertruck fail videos pretty entertaining.
They aren't cheap either, with the rear-wheel drive version launching in 2025 and coming in at $61,000.
If you want the beefier Cyberbeast, it'll set you back a whopping $100,000 without all the bells and whistles.

We previously covered the guy who was shocked to learn how much his normal Tesla had depreciated in two years, but now, one man has sold his Cyberbeast after a year and having only clocked up a pitiful 463 miles.
What's even more shocking is that this is the rare Foundation Series of Cybertruck.
The Foundation Series admittedly doesn't come with too much that's different, but with a special interior and etchings, it's a limited edition that collectors are sure to snap up...one day.
This Foundation Series Cyberbeast had an original MSRP of $121,985 and recently sold for $99,500.
The Cybertruck actually went for under the asking price, as it didn't originally sell for its reserve when bidding maxed out at $97,500. In the end, a deal was made for just shy of $100k. This means the owner lost $23k in a year. Something tells us they might not need the cash though.
Autoevolution reports that the Cybertruck's previous owner sold the vehicle because they have 'too many' cars: "I have too many cars so [I] had to make a decision to sell something.”
Responding to the listing on Bring a Trailer, it's clear some are unimpressed by the state of the Cybertruck market.
One disgruntled car fan wrote: "Everyone that wanted one, don’t worry, values on these will continue to fall, wait another year when the novelty has worn off and people are sick of driving them. Score a deal then."
Someone else concluded: "The polarizing Cybertruck truck only came to the light of day because of Mr. Musk. He took a huge gamble and the company spent years designing, engineering, redesigning, inventing new tooling, validating all systems, etc. He also doesn’t believe in focus groups. Love it or hate it only Tesla could have pulled off the Cybertruck."
Interestingly, Tesla removed its no-resale policy in August 2024. Previously, owners had to pay a $50,000 fine if they wanted to resell their Cybertrucks, which was enforced after one dealership tried to flip one for an astonishing $290,000.
Then again, if you're selling your Cybertruck because you have too many cars, it doesn't sound like this one was your pride and joy anyway.
