Tesla’s earlier refusal to accept Cybertrucks as trade-ins amused critics and raised doubts about the pickup’s market appeal. That policy has now reportedly been scrapped, with the company agreeing to take the all-electric trucks in on trade.
The about-face is telling, suggesting Tesla recognized the awkwardness of declining its own product. While the change gives owners a new option, the previously reported weak trade-in values mean the move may offer little comfort to those hoping to recoup their investment.
