Brand-New Cybertruck Ends Up on Salvage Car Market, Looks Intact

A brand-new Tesla Cybertruck has surfaced on the salvage car market, appearing intact but concealing a sad secret. The vehicle, listed with an actual cash value of $113,500, was found to have been submerged in fresh water, although the extent of internal damage remains unknown. Despite showing minimal external signs of water exposure, such as dirty rubber mats, the impact on its functionality is uncertain. The Cybertruck, a Foundation Series model with dual-motor all-wheel drive and 600 horsepower, was listed with only 1 mile on the odometer, suggesting it had not been in use long before the water incident. The listing, posted on June 22, invites potential buyers to inspect the vehicle in Miami, Florida. This unusual addition to the salvage market raises questions about the vehicle's operational status and the repercussions of its aquatic encounter.

"But the truth is that this Cybertruck was the victim of fresh water. There is no information about how it got there. Earlier this year, we reported about a Cybertruck, which seemed totaled after ending up in a ditch full of water and mud."
