Read where one Tesla Cybertruck owner had his orders canceled and banned from purchasing any future Tesla's because he listed, not sold, just listed, his Cybertruck for sale.
Cars & Bids (horrible auction site), Doug DeMuro released a video of why he hasn't reviewed one yet, supposedly because owners were too afraid of what Tesla might do to them.
Apparently, one sold for $200,000 to Ford, so they could reverse engineer it.
There are currently 11 owners who have listed their Cybertrucks for sale, just on Ebay alone. All but one are priced over $200,000. A year and a half ago, they likely would have gotten that. We're in a different world today.
There's one listed that shows 7 bids up to $160,100, yet nobody has jumped at the Buy It Now Price of $170,000. Makes me think, the bids must be phony bids just to make it look like people are interested. Common tactic on ebay listings. If someone really wanted it and bid $160,000 for it, they'd have hit the buy it now for $170,000 to ensure they got it.
I figured maybe the first 10 might go out at ridiculous prices. But, from the looks of it, maybe you could still find a few buyers in the $150,000 range. Tesla bragged about over 1,000,000 deposits. But, as with the guy that got banned, many were people who placed multiple deposits.
Per ebay, looks like three have sold. the last one already down to $160,000.
Another 900,000 or so probably just did so since it was only $100 to do so and just in case. Since the truck didn't meat the lofty promises Tesla announced, a good chunk of people have probably aborted. Add that into the fact that the economy isn't great and demand for EV's has plateaued, all those that bought these just to flip them are likely in for a rude awakening. For the next six months, they likely can come out ahead still. But, then there will be enough available.
Hummers were selling for over $200,000 in the peak of the market. Now they struggle to bring sticker price, despite the fact that there are so few of them.
Nowadays, you can find Rivian's for in the $60,000 range. F-150 Lightnings for less than $50,000. And even at those prices, they are struggling to sell them.
Chevy is soon to release the $100,000+ Silverado. Imagine they'll struggle with sales on that one too.
Dodge (Ram) appears to have the best thing going with the PHEV Ramcharger. Right now, most are just lifestyle trucks. For those needing a truck to do real truck things, full EV's just aren't there yet. The Ramcharger is a great alternative. 150 miles in EV only range, plus a gas "generator" for long distance trips or towing needs. Basically, for 95%, 150 miles a day is way more than enough to be EV only. The convenience of the gas engine and not having to deal with public chargers on the longer trips or towing trips, I think, makes it a really attractive offering to those who are hesitant to switch from ICE to EV due to range anxiety and the unappealing public charging network. It truly does offer the best of both worlds.
My Chevy Volt was AMAZING and is what convinced me to go full EV. Ramcharger is the first truck capable of getting the 95% not willing to switch over to at least now consider it.
