Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

From the article:
The Cybertruck owner listed his truck for sale for $89,000. He thinks this is a fair price [...] if you added every optional extra that Tesla currently offers for the Cybertruck, given the $7,500 tax credit and the $2000 referral discount, (a brand new 2025) Cybertruck will still only cost around $86,000.
Nobody with a brain would pay more for a used vehicle. It's not a collectible. "Founder's edition" nowadays means "beta version" and it's not something that's worth more.
I can think of one way to get rid of it. Saw it on the news last week. He's probably not going to like it.
Waaahhhh I made a bad financial decision and no one wants to bail me out at a 20% loss.
Lol. Lmao even.
...he has driven and sold over 40 exotic cars, and the Cybertruck is the one vehicle he is having the most trouble finding buyers for.
Not saying the Cybertruck is a good thing, personally IDGAF about it, but calling this guy merely "a cybertruck owner" is bullshit. He's a guy who makes money buying and selling expensive vehicles, and he's whining about a deal that hasn't worked out for him. Poor baby.
“I've owned it for 8 months. It is depreciating like a rock. I have already lost over $20k in 8 months. I want to cut my losses and move on, but I can't give this thing away unless I lower the price to probably $79k. Sucks.”
This right here sums up the unrealistic expectations of the average Tesla owner. Cars immediately depreciate the moment you drive them off the lot, no car is immune to this. The average new car loses 10% in the first month after buying it. It loses over 20% in the first year. For those who are playing along this track's with exactly how much this doofus has "lost" on his truck.
Also funny that he talks about the price depreciation, while complaining about not being able to sell it. How do you want to sell a buyer on "this will depreciate quickly in price, but please pay a price notably above current market prices"
The average new car loses 10% in the first month after buying it. It loses over 20% in the first year.
The theory behind this is that you'd only be selling a slightly used car if it was a lemon. The exception to the rule is resellers who already have a buyer lined up when they take possession of the vehicle.
But because Musk-o-philes are all Bitcoin brained and cannot conceive of prices ever going down, they're routinely shocked to discover that cars are for driving and not for speculating.
"I can't give this thing away."
FTA: He's not trying to give it away. He's expecting last year's used market value for it, but it's steadily depreciating. Someone offered him 50k for it. He overpaid for a new car.
Pretty much, guy's just being a Karen. "Broken TV from the 60's, 500 dollars. Don't low ball me, I know what I have."
There is a Tesla dealership near my house that has a lot full of them. A ridiculous number. It seems that Tesla is struggling to get rid of them. Hard to believe that there is not a huge market for electric dumpsters sold by a conspicuous asshole.
"can't give this thing away unless I lower the price to probably $79k. Sucks."
A brand new AWD CT from Tesla is $79,990.
Headline is clickbait. Seller is a whinger. Trash all round. Saved you a click.
"I can't give this thing away." - Guy who is asking $89,000 for a used vehicle that now sells new for $72,500.
Don't buy vehicles from a company led by an unstable Nazi CEO, dipshit.
Also, “give away” typically means $0. $89000 is to the best of my knowledge larger than $0. I’ll bet he could give it away, but he doesn’t want to do that.
from the tardygrade's perspective is it playing a large violin or a normal-sized cello?
Size-wise, relative to him, it's much closer to a violin than a cello, maybe slightly larger. So a viola would be the best fit. I think the picture is of a cello though, just sized strangely.
Edit: that image is strange. It's really popular, but bad. He's playing the strings from the wrong side of the bridge. How do you get that wrong?
Because of the size difference between humans and tardigrades, it's hard for tardigrades to attend music lessons and otherwise learn about human musical instruments, so give him a chance, he's probably trying his best.
you can buy a brand-new Cybertruck straight from the manufacturer cheaper than Sledder is asking to sell his used truck.
Wow I wonder why there's no takers
The paint job is totally worth the extra 19k you guyse!!!!
The article says there's a madman offering 50k cash for it. Poor soul.
Apparently Elon unfollowed MKBHD after he posted selling his Founders Cybertruck at a $50K loss and saying the Rivian RT1 was a better truck lol.
Oh no! Did he huwt the widdle man's feewings?
the shitposter in me wants to say that this isn't a problem you find a solution to, its karma for doing business with the devil.
Sledder also shares that over his lifetime, - he has driven and sold over 40 exotic cars, and the Cybertruck is the one vehicle he is having the most trouble finding buyers for.
Oh, I'm so sorry sir, it's frightfully unfair that this particular transaction has not worked out as favorablly as you're used to. Would you care for a sparkling beverage while Life figures out how to make itself better for you?
Play stupid games...
Aren't you literally not allowed to resale a Tesla (RIP First Sale doctrine)
Between price drops and the cybertruck recently qualifying for the federal EV tax credit, buyers can get a brand new unit for what this guy is asking. This early adopter paid too much and got a bad deal, but there's no mystery as to why no one wants to buy at his asking price.
No one will buy a used car for more than they can get a new one. Who knew?
Park it front of a hotel with something something has a fuse
It's a real problem to get rid of Leon Musk too. So this is intentionally.
I can't give this thing away
Sus
The Cybertruck owner listed his truck for sale for $89,000.
The same dual-motor Cybertruck AWD variant now starts at $80,000. However, starting in 2025, the vehicle qualifies for the $7,500 point of sale tax credit. This further lowers the starting price to $72,500.
Tesla is also now offering a $2,000 discount to anyone who applies a referral code when buying the vehicle. That further lowers the starting price to $70,500.
LOLOL.
Everyone expects top dollar for used shit these days.
This fucking article goes on 3 more paragraphs after that about how great the current offerings from Tesla are. Feels like the whole thing is just a Cybertruck sales puff piece in disguise.
I refuse to believe you can't find a Bigger Idiot to buy your used Cybertruck.
Not for the ridiculous price he's trying to sell it for.
Expensive lesson, try not being a sucker next time.
"Oh no my shitty car depreciated" god who would have guessed
Remember? The value of an item is what you get paid for, not what you want to get from it.
That one is not as bad looking as the rest but it still screams 3rd grade art project
I'll take it for free, I suspect a Cybertruck might be fun to paint in dazzle camouflage, at least it'll hide the shape
My first thought was "Really? Even a chop shop style place won't take it?" And reading it is like "Oh he doesn't want to cut the price so much but might now" so yeah.
