    Typically one might expect a pickup to retain about 65% of the value after three years where as the Cybertruck seems to have lost about 65% so that is clearly a thing. I'm not really surprised though.

    If we say a used three year old Cybertruck goes for $58k (per the article) and compare what we might get in the same class for that money it is a wonder that they can sell any.

    For example almost any 1 year old full sized ICE pickup or even an F-250 Godzilla or Ram 2500 Cummins go for the same price. Hell for $60k you can be looking at a fully loaded 2026 Raptor if you don't need a big bed.

    Why would anyone pay more that 45k for a used Cybertruck? At the moment the cheapest one I see on Carfax is asking 58K and ALL of them under $70k have Buyback/Lemon Titles. Who in their right mind is going to spend $60k on a certified lemon?

    As they say in Texas, it is all hat and no cattle.

      We do say that in Texas! Surprisingly, a huge number of people here are still very taken with Mr. Musk and his various hats.

        The other day, I saw a guy get out of one in a store parking lot with his wife and kids.

        I felt sorry for the kids. But not so much for the wife. She willingly chose this guy. The kids had no input but they still have to live with her decision.
