Over the weekend, Tesla began to offer many cybertruck-exchanging values over the original purchase price, apparently due to an error in his system.
Tesla offers online recovery estimates for people considering buying a vehicle from them.
Over the past few days, cybertruck owners who submitted their vehicles through the system were surprised to see Tesla offer extremely high valuations on the vehicle, often over what they originally paid for the electric truck.
Here are a few examples:
- $ 79,200 for a 2025 cybertruck AWD with 18,000 miles. Since this is a 2025 model year, it was eligible for tax credit and Tesla offers the same price as new without incentive.
- Here, Tesla offered $ 118,800 for a 2024 cybertruck ‘Cyberbeast’ tri-engine with 21,000 miles.
- In this example, Tesla offers $ 11,000 more than the owner initially paid for a 2024 cyber truck.
The Trade-Estimates made no sense. Tesla has been known to offer more attractive estimates online and then come lower with the official final offer, but this is at a completely different level.
Some speculated that Tesla’s penetrating estimation system did not work, while others thought Tesla indirectly remembered early cyber trucks.
It seems to be the former.
Some Tesla Cybertruck owners who tried to undergo a new order with their cybertruck as an invention, Tesla advisers were told that the system “glittered” and that they would not honor these awards.
Tesla told buyers that it would repay its usually “non-refundable” order fee.

It’s a weird mistake. I suppose it was trying to change how the entry value would be estimated and the new mathematics did not work for cybertruck for whatever reason.
That’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
Cybertruck’s value is already quite strange due to the fact that Tesla still has new vehicles made in 2024, which are not eligible for the tax credit incentive, while the new ones made in 2025 are eligible.
There is also the Foundation series that bundles many features at a $ 20,000 higher price.
All of these things affect the value and can make it difficult to compare with new cyber trucks offered with 0% interest.
