- The elderly couple, in their 70s, struggled with the Cybertruck’s size and tech features.
- After driving it for only 68 miles, they decided it just wasn’t a good fit for them.
- The Cybertruck Cyberbeast sports a 123 kWh battery and three motors delivering 845 hp.
When the Tesla Cybertruck began arriving in the hands of buyers about a year ago, it was nearly impossible to get one unless you had placed an order years in advance or were willing to pay a small fortune to scalpers for a used one. Now? Not so much. You can place an order and take delivery within weeks or, if you prefer, snag a barely used one for much less than the original MSRP.
Take this particular 2024 Cybertruck Cyberbeast, for instance. Delivered to a couple in their 70s just weeks ago, they roe it for exactly 68 miles (109 km) before they decided it wasn’t for them. Now, it’s up for auction. According to their son, who has been tasked with selling it, the couple weren’t accustomed to the Cybertruck’s steer-by-wire system and thought the electric pickup was too big.
“This truck was barely driven,” their son wrote in a comment on Cars&Bids. “My parents who are in their 70s, found it too large for their comfort and were not accustomed to the steer-by-wire. The feel and driving wasn’t to their liking so they decided to sell it.”

A look at the window sticker confirms this is the flagship Foundation Series model, complete with Tesla’s Full-Self Driving system. It originally carried an MSRP of $121,985, but given the way prices have been trending, it’s likely to sell for significantly less. The truck also sports a matte black wrap and tinted windows.
Obviously, since the Cybertruck has barely ever been driven, it’s about as close to new as you’ll find. The interior features Tesla’s signature minimalist design, with white panels on the dash and doors, plus seats wrapped in vegan leather. It could use a quick clean, but there’s no visible wear or damage.
The exterior looks pristine as well, aside from a minor quirk: the aero covers on the wheels aren’t quite centered on the bespoke tires. It’s hardly a dealbreaker, but it’ll definitely stand out to anyone who notices such things. Then again, this is a classic Tesla quirk that most owners have probably dealt with at some point, but it should be an easy fix with a quick adjustment.
As a Cyberbeast, the truck rocks a huge 123 kWh battery pack that drives three electric motors, delivering an impressive 845 hp for a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) with a rollout in 2.6 seconds. Tesla says it’s good for 301 miles (484 km) of range when fitted with all-terrain tires like this one.
So, if you’re after a low-mileage Cyberbeast and don’t feel like waiting for a factory delivery, this one’s up for grabs on Cars & Bids. Just be sure you’re comfortable with the size and its quirks and features, such as the steer-by-wire.
