Tesla Cybertruck owners looking to upgrade to a newer Tesla may find their options more limited than expected, as the company is apparently refusing to accept its own electric pickup as a trade-in.
A Canadian Tesla Cybertruck owner says he has discovered after attempting to trade-in his truck toward a newer Cybertruck as his existing truck is approaching the end of its standard 80,000km warranty.
The owner, Jay Zee, shared his experience in the Cybertruck Canada Facebook group after contacting Tesla about his nearly two-year-old truck with approximately 72,000 km on the odometer.
Wanting to keep the truck beyond that point, Zee first asked Tesla whether he could purchase additional warranty coverage. However, Tesla does not offer an extended warranty on the Cybertruck, either in Canada or the U.S.
That prompted him to consider another option – trading his current Cybertruck back to Tesla and purchasing a new one. However, the owners says Tesla Canada told him it does not currently accept Cybertrucks as trade-ins.
Zee wasn’t the only owner to report this same outcome when attempting to trade in their Cybertruck. Jamie Mcwhirter said he was similarly refused a trade-in on his Cybertruck with 120,000km on the odometer.
It is unclear at this time why Tesla is not accepting Cybertruck trade-ins in Canada, especially since Tesla has accepted them in the U.S. since May 2025. One potential factor could be the ongoing tariffs on U.S. built vehicles that have pushed new Cybertruck prices as high as $167,990, which could make it more difficult to establish predictable resale values.
