As Tesla Cybertrucks become more prevalent on the roads, wrecked models are starting to surface in the market. Recently, two Cybertrucks have been listed for auction by IAAI, presenting an opportunity for buyers to potentially acquire these vehicles at a discount. However, the path to getting these vehicles back on the road could be a challenging and costly endeavor.
The first Cybertruck available through IAAI retains its original stainless steel exterior panels, showing no obvious signs of damage apart from some dirt. However, the listing reveals that this Cybertruck was flooded in fresh water, with the water line just above the top of the side skirts but below the sills. The extent of the damage inside the cabin remains unclear. Despite its low mileage of just 26 miles (~42 km), the insurer deemed it uneconomical to repair.

The second Cybertruck, located in Seattle, Washington, has a matte black wrap and has suffered significant front-end damage in a crash. The hood is bent, the bumper is destroyed, and the airbags have been deployed. With 3,932 miles (6,328 km) on the odometer, this Cybertruck appears to have been involved in a substantial impact.
While both Cybertrucks could potentially be repaired, sourcing replacement parts, particularly for the relatively new Cybertruck, could prove challenging. Tesla’s policy on providing replacement parts directly to customers can be difficult to navigate, potentially prolonging the repair process.
