# Tesla starts accepting Cybertruck trade-ins, confirms insane depreciation

> Tesla has begun accepting trade-ins for the Cybertruck, over a year after its deliveries commenced. The company previously refrained from accepting its own vehicle as a trade-in due to significant depreciation concerns. The Cybertruck has struggled commercially, with higher costs and lower performance than initially promised at launch.

Tesla has started accepting Cybertruck trade-ins, something that wasn’t the case more than a year after deliveries of the electric pickup truck started.

We are starting to see why Tesla didn’t accept its own vehicle as a trade-in: the depreciation is insane.

The Cybertruck has been a commercial flop.

When Tesla started production and deliveries in late 2023, the vehicle was significantly more expensive and had less performance than initially announced.
