I'm selling my stupid Tesla Cybertruck as prices are crashing, but Carmax refused to make an offer?

but I need to sell it while I can and get rid of the Cyber ​​truck, so I'm taking the Cyber ​​truck to CarMax for an evaluation and see what they say. Welcome to the garage, the dumbest car channel on all of YouTube and yes, I'm abandoning it. my

cybertruck

after only a month because there are some things that I really don't like and some things that Tesla has done with the new Cyber ​​truck

make

me feel a little gross and also the main reason why I am afraid of catastrophic depreciation . The bottom is falling out on this and I feel like if I still have this by the end of the year I will lose $30 $40,000 or more and with all the dumb decisions I've made lately it's time to

make

a smart decision and get rid of this now before I get into this.

I want to say this is my opinion and judgments on the car based on my personal opinion, my first hand experiences and what I have read online with other Tesla owners and I may be wrong on some of them. This is certainly my opinion and I am just reading information. I may have some data wrong so take it with a grain of salt and Tesla, if you're seeing this, it's just my opinion and yeah, don't sue me. no longer exists for having a negative opinion please very happy but I'm not worried about Tesla suing me for

selling

my Cyber ​​Tru even though they threatened to because they haven't done it to anyone else that I know of , although Maybe you want to give me an example, we'll see, uhoh, so when the Cyber ​​truck was introduced over four years ago, it was supposed to be priced around $60,000 for all-wheel drive, it had 500 miles of reach and it looked like this.

Amazing spaceship from the future that looks like a spaceship and they lived up to the look. Personally, I love the look. People are divided about it, but I personally love it. But what we got in terms of specifications is not the same Foundation series that it has. first cyber truck, you had to pay a minimum of $100,000 and the range only 340k or you could pay an extra 15k for a range extender that takes up a lot of your rear cargo space, you buy a truck to haul stuff so You have to sacrifice that bed space for another 100 miles or so and with a cyber truck you're supposed to get a lot of extras, not just the Foundation series laser etched into the body, you're supposed to get full self-driving standards, so what the autopilot system, you're supposed to have a cool light bar on top and the really cool Tesla Power Share that lets you plug in the Tesla and say if the power goes out it automatically activates like a generator backup and can run your house, but I haven't gotten any of those things more about it in a short time, supposedly over 1 million people were placed in a Clos it in a cyber truck.

Instant $100 fundraiser for Elon and that meant a 3-4 year wait to get his cyber truck and That doesn't seem to be the case so I was a reserve holder the first day but now I see on the Tesla forums that people who supposedly have 500 to a million people lined up get invites to set up and that's because you have much less reach. The more expensive those hundreds of thousands or millions of people who make a reservation are going to spend, they are going to wait at least for the baseless series and they will save at least 20 grand or they will wait until rear-wheel drive comes out, that's supposed to be that it should cost less than $60,000 and to get that you don't pay 100 grand or 120 grand for the cyber beast or wait until they improve.

The Cyber ​​truck adds a lot more range, especially with the Chevy EV Silverado having a reported range of over 400 miles. "That Tesla has room underneath to add more battery capacity to meet that, so in this first model that I'm a beta tester on I'm not getting a lot of the technology and a lot of the things that I was promised." I'm paying more to do that, so once they check out all the people dumb enough like me to pay $100,000 or more for the foundation series, that will reduce the price by 20 grand and I'll have instant depreciation of 20,000 or more, realistically, if you can get it. this same truck with the exact same specs for $80,000, then wholesale will cost 5 10 grand or more if demand really goes down since Tesla can ramp up production because their goal is to build hundreds of thousands of these per year and sell them very soon they will be everywhere if they can sell them and at the current price not many people will buy them so they will inevitably lower the price to what they were supposed to be so I'm betting on the end of the year if they still If I had the Cyber ​​truck, I would be losing $30, $40,000 and that's one thing, if I really love the truck and want to keep it.

I really enjoyed driving it. I just opened the charging port, um, I'd be happy to do that. that leads to him doing nothing until you know, he rusts on the farm, but I don't love this. I like it, but not for that, not for $100,000 or 30,000 or more in depreciation in the year, so let me show you why, but first. We continue with my problems with the Cyber ​​truck. I would like to thank Pury Debt Solutions for sponsoring today's video, which can be a bit heartbreaking and I know this because luckily I have a lot of that right now with all the things going on on the farm.

I don't think the panel gaps are that bad for a Tesla. I feel like they are acceptable and of course the kicker is the fact that everything is Razor. Edge on this and they don't have really good pinch sensors where fingers and appendages get caught, it's certainly a problem there but it's kind of silly.

I hurt my arm the first few days with this, I went through and trimmed here on this one. The sharp edge cut me pretty good, but other homeowners really had stitches in this corner here and by banging their leg against the door, one person did the delivery day and needed points from his cyber truck, so these sharp edges look really

stupid

, but That means you get a very thick metal, let's say on the DeLorean, where it had nice edges. It's not as thick as this one so it's not bullet or impact resistant so it's pretty good for the body but you can see it's not just stainless steel.

I feel like there is a lot of hard plastic everywhere, including places where it shouldn't be hard plastic. This here should be flexible. Most people have these panels. They are a flexible material that, if hit, will bend. the other way around, uh, not this one, so people go off the road or hit some road debris and they're breaking this and this one back here, the fenders are for the extra arrow on the Cyber ​​truck, they should be flexible and They're not, so they're breaking down at an alarming rate and Tesla says if you're going off-road you should take them off so they don't get wiped out, but it's not just what you can see, it's also what's hiding underneath and it'll tell you.

I showed. In that terapart video, the problems I saw under the Cyber ​​truck, but then another person pointed out that the control arms look very, very small, thin, I mean this is it here as far as how thick it is. It's no thicker than my finger across its width and this is supposed to be an off-road vehicle, you see the big airbag there, uh, that's not a very beefy upper control arm. I'm going to show you on two other vehicles just for For the sake of comparison, starting with my Chevy 3500 truck, so a nice sturdy truck here, the upper control arm yes, it's smaller, but it has at least a finger thickness and this is not designed for any type of off-roading, but you can see it.

It's a thicker, beefier looking control arm, but when you compare it to this purpose-built Ford Raptor, this off-roader here you can see that the upper control arm is pretty beefy and at least a finger thick there and then the arm lower control. It's absolutely huge obviously it's designed to go off road and jump over 300,000 miles and it's had some suspension changes but it hasn't fallen apart yet and you can see the suspension setup makes the truck Cyber ​​​It seems like an absolute joke. Another thing that is having massive failure rates is this panel here to open and close the rear hatch and The Vault, you can stand on this, it will support your weight, but this button itself allows water to enter.

I've seen him once where he is. everything swelled like a pimple and it still worked but obviously the water getting in there over and over again causes eventual failures and there is a replacement for that, for now mine works perfectly, plus there is a connection for the light. bar or whatever up here there is an electrical outlet for it and someone had a short circuit and melted this whole thing without any kind of warning light apparently of course there is no hubcap and you can see inside the hubs this is normal on my 11 years. -The eldest daughter put the lock noise at that level.

She thinks it's funny, it's quite funny, but sometimes she does it, so this is starting to rust and looks very unpleasant. It's normal for buckets to have exposed metal like this and rust, but. There are supposed to be wheel covers that we are supposed to get eventually, but we haven't received them and there is no estimate of when we will get them. The same goes for the fully autonomous vehicle. Elon said it could be a few months or more because I have to prioritize the rest of the Tesla fleet for the next generation Autopilot, so if Elon says months and he said this would come out in a few years, the Tesla Roadster that is supposed to It will be out in a few years and has not yet been revealed.

It knows when autopilot is going to go on and it's something you can subscribe to and pay 99 or 1199 a month, so by that calculation, $8,000, even if I had it right now, it would take me five, three, five, seven years, depending on how they priced it to recover that cost and then there was shared energy. I was talking about the house, the backup generator for this, well Tesla has it installed by a Tesla certified installer and there is a long wait time and they are quoting. uh6 at $8,000 in some cases I think one person said $6,500 after a decent weight and was very proactive in signing up which is a one or two day job and Tesla provides the hardware which is the power part to plug it in so which is simply electrician. plugging this in to work in-house on existing infrastructure, there aren't many extra parts, so a day or two of work for $6 to $8,000 means Tesla is probably increasing this to recoup their cost.

I don't know for sure, but in what world. Does a day or two's work for an electrician without additional tools cost so much money that many people opt not to do it and supposedly get a $2,500 credit or a year of supercharging and one of the things you can do? buy is the Cyber ​​tent, the really cool cyber tent to cross back here and that's $3,000, so you get a $2,500 $3,000 credit for the tent. I wonder what the cost of the tent will be. Could it be $500? Would that be the cost in the tent? tent or maybe $300 so they still make a little money this is me I'm just guessing I don't know but you see where I'm going here where this whole thing feels like it's rubbery it feels like a used car.

Slimy dealer stuff when it's a new car dealership and I'm paying for the privilege of being their beta tester, without having the technology of a fully autonomous steering wheel, covers a light bar, any of the gimmicks and I pay more for the privilege and of course Don't forget the little rivet on my gas pedal because the pedals would come loose and your solution is a rivet so yeah but that's not the main reason I want to get rid of the Cyber ​​truck like I said , it is because of the massive depreciation. What comes with this is enough, if I wasn't going to lose a fortune, I would like to enjoy it, drive it, there are some things I like, but I need to sell it while I can and I actually found it. an electric vehicle worth having that is new and in fact I will pick it up today and throw away the Cyber ​​truck unless CarMax gives me more so I will take the Cyber ​​truck to CarMax for aevaluation and see what they say and I have also received a few other quotes, it has been safe, so the first sale of a cyber truck at auction was $244,000, which was dealer only the following week $200,000 that I covered.

I both emailed the owner of the wholesale company who uh gave me the VIN and offered to take this truck and sell it across his lane and see what he does, but after those few initial sellers who hit the jackpot Did they risk being sued by Tesla for changing the gates? opened and

prices

have crashed 150s 140s 130s 11 teens we have seen public car sales and bids as low as 108,000 so with rates around 115 and now they are dropping closer and closer to MSRP so I realized at this time, this is the last day of the last week, I will probably be able to sell this Cyber ​​Tru and not suffer a loss, so I went shopping.

The acceleration is so good that it is one of the things I like and have. become an EV enthusiast or convert after owning one of these for about a month and driving several other EVS on my other channel Good morning YouTube lots of new car reviews. I love the fact that I never have to go to the gas station. I plug it in every day, I never have to think about it and also that instant acceleration from this thing 3. and 1 half second to 60 is amazing, the handling is also very nice on this thing, it's quiet and I love the visibility, this Giant big window on the front reminds me of a Toyota Privia I had in the past, it's cool.

I love the look and feel of this thing, but not for $100,000, the seat is okay, nothing spectacular, not uncomfortable, but still not something plush and luxurious like you might think for something that costs six figures, then the interior itself is very sparsely finished. you have this screen that controls everything and I just can't get used to it. I want to have buttons for things. I want shortcuts to change the fan speed. I don't want to have to press this button and then this button and this button. so I can control the speed of my fan, like turn on the heated seats or change the radio, uh, so many things.

I guess there are some radio controls here but there are so many things I hate toggling on the screen to do and I hate looking at my rearview mirror on the TV screen instead of up here because it's completely useless with the Vault closed the mono wipers work but it's a little annoying the coverage is a little patchy sometimes it misses the center of the windshield because it's so big the windshield washer wiper has actually gotten a little better, let's see, i'm pressing the button, it's still there, it works, it's doing the job work, but as you can see, sometimes it parks itself down there.

I need to turn it off. I want you to turn it off and but even though it's off, it's parked down there now and will eventually come back on. It's just a small Quirk, no big deal. I have not had any type of delay or any type of failure, any type of electronic problem with this. with the Cyber ​​trucks, they are being pretty reliable in that sense, some very early failures with some major hardware, but it's normal for a new vehicle off the line. I think overall they've been pretty solid on that. sense, oh there goes the windshield wiper, but I mentioned to all my dealer friends that I want to sell my cyber truck and they called some of their bigger wholesale friends and a lot of them are scared and now they're a little bit below MSRP because obviously they want to make money if they sell it wholesale or if they stick with it for a long time, then they don't want to keep riding that wave because it's not just about Tesla and the base series going away, leading to huge depreciation is the same thing with electric cars in general because they are so expensive that when they reach the secondary market, buyers who use them buy them at a much lower price. depreciation the ride was a little nervous for me a little rough but overall beautiful quality Tesla Model 3 that you can get now for under $20,000 with autopilot you pay for the subscription and you have autopilot off rron something similar about half discount there are so many EVS that are half price after a year or two of ownership, it makes a lot of sense to buy them and maybe one day I will go back to the Cyber ​​truck and buy it used cheap and depreciated and then deal with all the problems and I will lose money. that way because that's how I like to lose money, but for now just with direct depreciation it feels really

stupid

and no, I'm not worried about Tesla suing me.

Elon sued me for

selling

this because I signed an agreement with Tesla when I set up. This is because I wouldn't sell it within a year. I would give them the first R for rejection at the MSRP minus mileage. If they reject it then I could sell it, but I can sell it for MSRP right now where I won't lose. anything, so I'm not making any money, but Tesla could technically sue me for $50,000 and if that happens it would be ridiculous that they're not doing it to anyone, the worst thing they're doing is banning people from buying future Teslas, which If they do that to me, I guess I'll take it so I know I have an offer right now so I don't lose money and it also allows me to get another new vehicle that I really like, but before I give up.

I'm leaving and saying goodbye to my Tesla. I have to see what CarMax has to say because they may want it for their own inventory and pay even more than the MSRP because the auction values ​​are still a little crazy right now, they are going up and down but every week it goes down every again, but if they base their wholesale values ​​on even two weeks ago, they could bid $20,000 over MSRP for this, so fingers crossed, but we'll see, it's actually been a few days. Since I went to CarMax on the Cyber ​​Tru and it didn't go as expected, after sitting there for almost an hour they came back and said we can't make an offer on their cyber truck or any Cyber ​​Tru. until it's been at least a year since you bought it and I can only think of two reasons why number one is the volatile Cybertruck.

The market is too crazy to want to participate so they are just waiting a year or more they are probably worried about the litigious nature of Tesla and what would happen, say, if they bought a cyber truck and then that person got sued and then that person sued to CarMax because they should have known. I don't know something like that. uh so it didn't work at Carmax at all and it also didn't work at the dealership I was going to buy one of these from this is a Cadillac lyric, it's Cadillac's new electric SUV and the two ways I was talking about buying an electric car , one of them was going to buy a used car, which is what this is, the other was leasing with the $7,500 tax credit and most overvalue their residuals on leases, you can get a lease really cheap. like Ed did with an Audi rron for, you know, a couple hundred dollars a month on a $100,000 Audi for two years, there are other cases of that and that was going to be the case with the lyrics, except it turns out that I didn't qualify for some reason. on the lease for the $7,500 tax credit, so that blew it up and they were going to give me the MSRP for the $12,000

cybertruck

, but my backup was this, it's a 2023 with 9,000 M 300 plus miles of range, This is the two-wheel drive one, but it's the launch edition and very, very loaded with the super Cruise, which is a rival to Tesla's Autopilot, installed and running, and this dealer was willing to give me $111,000 for the Cyber ​​​​Tru, so I get back not only what I paid for it, but all my sales taxes as well.

Back to where I'm not losing much money, I think I even made a couple thousand and they were willing to sell me this for $42,000, which I knew was about $770,000, so 8,000 miles on a year old, that massive depreciation I was talking about. about and you're $25,000 off, a third not half off and at that higher retail value it's really like $35,000 is what I paid for this if you consider the MSRP and since I traded it in I haven't had to pay any sales tax . I haven't really liked any of Cadillac's recent offerings other than the Escalade because Cadillac had tried to go sporty and try to make sort of European sports cars instead of old school luxury sedans like that. ended up with DTs when I was a salesman at the Cadillac dealership, old Devils cils, that kind of thing, but I feel like this lyric is a return to form because the ride is so nice that I think it looks pretty cool even though it's one crossing is lower, so to me it's almost Andean madness.

I like the light bar here in the back, in the back, the ride is amazing, the seat comfort is out of this world and it has technology in the right way. I have options as much as possible. having to go through a screen, I could if I wanted to with a touch screen, but I have the knobs down here and I have physical buttons everywhere, heated and cooled seats, autopilot that works, I don't have to wait months, all kinds of good options that the cybertruck doesn't have and for a small fraction of the price not only because it is a much cheaper new MSRP but also in depreciation.

Now, what I do give up is the acceleration from 0 to 60 in these at 4 and 1/2 faster. seconds, the Cyber ​​Tru is a second faster and the range is a little less. I think the whole cybertruck has 340, these are around 320, still enough now. This is a completely new platform for GM in terms of its great electrical architecture and moving into the future. and it is a kind of module with the motors and battery packs where maintenance should be quite simple, similar to Tesla. Really, this is the first I feel from The Big Three that they can chase Tesla in a meaningful way and be competitive, but it is not without quirks.

I haven't noticed any, but on the letter owners forum there are a lot of people who have little bugs, hiccups, software updates and things like that, but the good news is any Cadillac dealer can fix it. I don't have to drive three hours to a Tesla store to get my car fixed if something goes wrong and like I said, it's more comfortable, it's better equipped, it's easier to drive and I bought it for less than I expected the Cyber ​​to cost. truck. It's going to depreciate over the next six months so we'll see how it goes, we'll see how my decision went, we'll check back later and see if I was right with the Cyber ​​trucks, if not I feel like I was and while I did it.

Have fun with the Cyber ​​Truck. I don't regret my decision one bit. Thanks so much for looking.
