For Sale: Tesla Cybertruck With One Of One Paint Job
- Tesla pickup suffered severe interior and exterior destruction while parked in LA this January.
- The listing reveals cabin burns were primary damage with graffiti and glass damage secondary.
- Dashboard, steering wheel, and infotainment system are missing while rear seats remain salvageable.
It’s no secret that Tesla and its Cybertruck flagship are divisive topics today. Whether it’s the design, the rollout, or the broader image of the brand, reactions are rarely lukewarm. That divisiveness has made the truck a frequent target of protests, and occasionally, more extreme actions. Now, one infamous Cybertruck that went up in flames and was later covered in graffiti is now headed to auction.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f”);
}
});
The estimated sale price? Around $82,000. And by our extremely scientific calculations, it’ll only cost about $81,999 to fix. A steal, really, assuming you’ve always wanted a post-apocalyptic sculpture that used to be a truck.

This EV experienced its life-ending event in January in an LA parking lot. Carscoops reported on the situation quickly after it happened. The truck sat idle largely in the same state that you see here. The hood is cut up, the driver’s side has fire damage, broken glass, and holes in the firewall. The tires are burned up, and there is graffiti across the entire car.
It’s unclear how the damage began, but it could’ve been that a fire in the cabin started the cascade. From there, it would make sense that firefighters cut the hood. The high-voltage cutoff is under it and near the windshield. From that point forward, anyone around the scene could’ve added the additional vandalism after the fact.
Notably, the salvage auction does say that an “interior burn” was the primary damage and that vandalism is the secondary damage. To that end, the cabin doesn’t look like it’s in much better shape than the exterior. The steering wheel is gone, the dash is missing some panels, and the infotainment system is reportedly inoperable. Hey, at least the back seats look salvageable.

As we pointed out in our initial coverage, the truck almost looks like an obscure art piece. No doubt, it could serve as an exhibit that demonstrates the odd time we’re all living in and the way people reacted to this truck and Tesla as a whole. Depending on your point of view, it might even belong in a gallery as a reflection of public sentiment toward Tesla and its polarizing design direction.
So, what do you think? Would you throw in a bid on this fire-damaged, heavily graffitied Cybertruck? If nothing else, it’s a conversation starter. Let us know what you’d pay for it in the comments.
