This Tesla Cybertruck was sold to Copart for only $8,000, making it the cheapest Cybertruck ever, and there’s a disappointing reason why.
A team of YouTubers is known for its intensive vehicle testing videos, but were very disappointed when they discovered that their Cybertruck had been T-Boned in December 2024.
Following the incident, the team wanted to get it fixed, but were quoted almost $58,000 just for repairs after waiting a long time for even just an estimate.
They decided to take the loss and sold its remains for very little, proving that even Cybertrucks aren’t completely indestructible.

Why is it the cheapest ever Tesla Cybertruck?
This group of YouTubers is known for putting different cars through a very rigorous standardized test and they’ve tested everything from trucks to EVs, including this specific Tesla Cybertruck.
Unfortunately, the Edmunds Car team sadly had to say goodbye to their Tesla Cybertruck because it was T-Boned on the driver’s side by a compact sedan in December 2024. And all this while it was parked.
The EV was shoved partially onto the curb, and as the team wrote in their post about the situation, ‘the headaches really began when we looked into repairs.’
The team contacted two Tesla service centers in their area and waited for an estimate on how much repairs cost. And waited, and waited…
They ended up selling it for $8,000
After two whole months of waiting just for an estimate, the team were told that the repairs on the Tesla Cybertruck would cost an eye-watering $57,879.89.
They decided to take the loss and sell the EV to Copart for parts, only getting $8,000 for the smashed up Tesla.
This incident really proved that Cybertrucks aren’t completely indestructible. But, then, few vehicles can withstand being T-boned while parked.
