Is anyone currently seeing a used Tesla Cyberbeast for sale under retail price?

Honestly no, you wont find a Beast under retail yet. I needed a reliable work truck for my property and ended up very happy with my Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.7L Diesel. It works well and I have no complaints about the reliability or price. 1. Skip the EV hype for ranch deadlines.

• Buy a proven heavy-duty truck that actually fits your budget today.

ngl you're probably not gonna find a cyberbeast under retail for a while yet. the market is still pretty wild because of that foundation series pricing and everyone trying to make a quick buck despite the resale rules. here is why the prices are staying so high:

• production volume is still way too low for the demand
• the Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast Tri-Motor AWD is mostly being delivered with a forced 20k foundation markup
• anyone flipping them adds even more to cover the risk of getting blacklisted by tesla if you're actually using this for ranch work in texas, i'd honestly be a bit cautious about jumping into a used one right now. i've seen the data on these platforms and the repair cycle for that stainless steel and the steer-by-wire system is kind of a mess. if you clip a gate or have a sensor failure out in the middle of nowhere, you're looking at months of downtime because parts just don't exist in the secondary market yet. it's a cool truck, but for a working vehicle with a deadline, the reliability isn't quite there for a buy it used scenario. you might be better off looking at a Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range or a Rivian R1T Dual-Motor Max Pack if you need something by next month. those are actually sitting on lots and you can find them for decent prices without the headache of a flipping contract or missing spare parts. maybe wait a year for the hype to die down before grabbing the tesla.

To add to the point above: finding that deal is basically a myth right now! I went through the same headache for my land. The tech in these alternatives is actually amazing tho:

• the GMC Hummer EV Pickup 3X has 1000hp and CrabWalk is fantastic for tight spots!
• the Chevrolet Silverado EV RST 4WT range is incredible for Texas. I love the Beast but the markups just wont quit!

Coming back to this, you totally reminded me of my cousin and his ridiculous mission to find the perfect ranch rig last summer! He spent like three weeks straight hunting for this one specific vintage model and he drove all the way to the middle of nowhere in a rental because he heard someone had one in a barn.

• he ended up getting a flat tire in the middle of a massive thunderstorm
• then he got stuck behind a tractor for three hours
• he eventually just gave up and bought a ham sandwich at a gas station instead It was such a wild weekend honestly! He never even got close to the truck but we still laugh about that road trip every time we grab a beer together. Things just have a way of working out weird like that sometimes.
