A couple in their 70s purchased a new Cybertruck, disliked it, and are putting it up for sale after only driving 68 miles. | Carscoops

      The two senior owners are parting with their 845-hp Cyberbeast, having concluded that it's simply too large and unconventional for their needs.

      The couple, both in their 70s, found the size and technology of the Cybertruck challenging to manage. After driving it for only 68 miles, they determined it wasn't the right match for them.

      The Cybertruck Cyberbeast features a 123 kWh battery and three motors that produce 845 hp.

      When the Tesla Cybertruck started reaching buyers about a year ago, acquiring one was nearly impossible unless you had placed a long-ago order or were willing to pay a premium to scalpers for a used vehicle. Currently, it's a different story. You can order one and expect delivery in a matter of weeks, or if preferred, find a lightly used model for significantly less than its original MSRP.

      Take this specific 2024 Cybertruck Cyberbeast as an example. Delivered to a couple in their 70s just weeks earlier, they drove it for exactly 68 miles (109 km) before deciding it wasn't suitable for them. It is now available for auction. As per their son, who is managing the sale, the couple was unaccustomed to the Cybertruck’s steer-by-wire system and deemed the electric pickup too large.

      “This truck has seen minimal use,” their son commented on Cars & Bids. “My parents, who are in their 70s, found it too big for their comfort and were unfamiliar with the steer-by-wire system. The driving experience was not to their preference, so they opted to sell it.”

      A glance at the window sticker reveals that this is the top-tier Foundation Series model, equipped with Tesla’s Full-Self Driving system. It was initially priced at $121,985, but due to changing market trends, it may sell for considerably less. The truck also features a matte black wrap and tinted windows.

      Since the Cybertruck has hardly been driven, it is virtually as close to new as possible. The interior showcases Tesla’s trademark minimalist style, featuring white panels on the dashboard and doors, along with seats made from vegan leather. It could use a quick cleaning, but there is no visible wear or damage.

      The exterior appears spotless, with one minor issue: the aero covers on the wheels are slightly misaligned with the custom tires. This is not a major flaw, but it is noticeable to those who pay attention to such details. Nevertheless, this is a common Tesla quirk that many owners have likely experienced, and it should be easily remedied with a quick adjustment.

      As a Cyberbeast, the truck is equipped with an impressively large 123 kWh battery pack that powers three electric motors, yielding 845 hp and enabling a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) sprint in 2.6 seconds. Tesla claims it has a range of 301 miles (484 km) when fitted with all-terrain tires like this model.

      So, if you're looking for a low-mileage Cyberbeast and prefer to avoid waiting for a factory delivery, this one is available on Cars & Bids. Just make sure you're comfortable with its size and its unique features, such as the steer-by-wire system.
