Also, were you given a cash option vs taking the truck? Did you have to pay sales tax when you registered it?

Was not given a cash option. I really don’t want this thing tho and trading it up for an Awd or beast is just not the smart financial thing to do. I am going to sell it, pay off my 4Runner and put some money down on a model y. I like the full self drive and the spacious cabin but there is not much else I like about this version of the Cybertruck so I think it’s best to get something that has those features and is also a sound financial decision.

I agree. This is your best option. Any luck finding a buyer on here ?

I have had a few contacts about it and have also asked Tesla about it. So far the answer has been that I can’t do anything with it until Texas registers it and sends me the title.

That is true in TX. I couldn’t register my custom plates until receiving my hard tags.

@Mini2nut this is it right here! You’re possibly one and only chance at a $60K CT. We can’t have one of the top contributors of this forum CTless much longer.

I told him that’s how much I want for it. He would need to come get it. Sitting in my driveway with 380 miles

I’m not a betting man, but if I was I’d say he’ll come through with that. He was sooooo close to buying one for $70K earlier this year (even placed an order), then decided it wasn’t worth it. Time to embrace the opportunity! It has everything that makes CT great: SbW/4WS.

I could easily live without the rear screen, smuggler’s bay, or adaptive air suspension. Buy a soft tonneau and an l-track and it’s about as good as any other CT, with even more range.

Since there is no tonneau mechanism, it would be great to be able to roll down the rear window.
to make a passthrough to allow getting air conditioning on hot days and on long trips
if you have groceries or pets in the bed of the truck or when camping in the bed at night.
Adding a camper roof would not be too difficult, and this would provide a large living space.

TMC - Removing / venting rear window to cool/heat vault for DIY camp mode?

If I had a RWD it would 100% get a bed cap. Probably urander.
The aerodynamic impact is probably the same or less than driving around with an open vault.

Low voltage electrical system issue detected
Vehicle power reduced - Schedule service

only 380 miles on it and it is going in for service. Definitely selling this thing. I think Tesla is gonna give me $74k for it.
Good. It should go to someone who wants it.congrats on your 74k

They’ve been known to have quirks with their online trade in estimates in the past. Seems like they’re experiencing that again. Not trying to rain on your parade, but there’s no way they’re paying over MSRP for a used vehicle.

I won an online sweepstakes and won a Cybertruck. Turns out it is a 2026 RWD. Given all the things stripped out is it worth it to keep this thing? I kinda like it and feel like I want to keep it but it feels like so much is missing over an AWD version. I get that I got this for free so am I crazy for wanting more?
The contest rules were pretty clear it would be a base RWD at $39,900. You're getting much more tech at a higher price. If it were me I'd be ecstatic and extremely happy for this fortunate turn of events.

"3. Grand Prize: One Tesla Cybertruck, base configuration model (single-motor, rear-wheel drive, with anticipated MSRP of $39,900, or whichever configuration is the base model) with delivery expected in the year 2023 or later. According to Tesla, the production of this base configuration model is not expected to begin until 2023 at the earliest. The Cybertruck prize will be delivered to the winner after this configuration is available for purchase and delivery. The exact details relating to the delivery of the prize will be announced later."
