Elon Musk’s Tesla woes are continuing to pile up.

Tesla has faced a number of issues since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, including plummeting stock prices, fewer deliveries of its electric vehicles and mass protests against Musk at its dealerships. Many Americans are protesting Musk and his efforts to slash federal government spending as a part of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Now, some Cybertruck owners are reporting that Tesla will not accept its own vehicle as a trade-in, according to electric vehicle website Electrek.

From Electrek’s report:

With Tesla having issues selling new Cybertrucks, the automaker is reportedly not taking any as trade-ins. Many Cybertruck owners reported trying to trade-in the truck for a new vehicle and they were told that the automaker currently doesn’t accept its own vehicle as a trade-in.

Some owners who have had their trucks in service for extended periods of time are also trying to get Tesla to take the truck back, but the company is forcing them to go through the Lemon Law process.

The news also comes as Tesla said Wednesday that its sales dropped 13% during the first three months of 2025................................

1. Why the hell are they trying to trade the Nazi car truck for another Nazi car?

I'd never be involved in any deal with that Nazi-saluting fascist.

The idea is to get another brand. There are other EVs on the market. IMO even an ICE vehicle is better short term.

3. I don't know for sure about Tesla

But in the automotive world, it is not uncommon for a dealer to handle several lines.

They may indeed be trying to find another electric vehicle through the same dealer.

It would seem that prosecuting them through the lemon law would be preferable to having another cyber truck.

2. FAFO.

Anyone, and I mean any damned one, who bought a Cybertruck is only getting what they have coming to them when it comes to Tesla's behavior.
