Burned Cybertruck vehicle on the Auction/ Carscoops

In early August, a Tesla Cybertruck was involved in a fatal crash in Texas. The vehicle veered off the road and collided with a ditch under unclear circumstances.

The impact triggered a severe fire as the battery overheated, rapidly consuming the vehicle. Following the accident, Texas authorities reported that the intense blaze severely damaged the driver’s body, making identification impossible. The fire was so fierce that only the frame of the Cybertruck remained intact.

Cybertruck on fire revealed
It’s so burnt it’s hard to recognize

The tragic accident involving the Tesla Cybertruck, which made headlines in the US earlier this month, is now drawing renewed attention as the severely burned vehicle heads to auction. Recent photos of the Cybertruck reveal that almost no part of the vehicle remains intact. The intense heat has melted the body panels, and those that haven’t melted are covered in soot.

The core components, including the battery and electric motor, have been destroyed and are no longer visible. The only remnants left are the flattened tires and some wheels, which also suffered severe damage from the fire. While the auction’s exact price is yet to be determined, experts suggest it is unlikely to fetch a high amount due to its lack of practical use.

Cybertruck with a unique design
Popular with enthusiasts even before its launch

If only part of the Cybertruck had burned, some components might be salvageable for disassembly, recycling, or resale. However, given that the fire completely consumed the vehicle, it is unlikely to be functional or practical.

This burned-out Cybertruck at auction is linked to the recent shortage of Cybertrucks in the US market. Before its official launch, the Cybertruck garnered significant attention for its distinctive design, featuring steel paneling and sharp angular lines. Reactions to its appearance were polarized, but its unique styling attracted a substantial following. Early buyers quickly snapped up the Cybertruck, and the used vehicle market saw prices soar due to the initial stock shortage.

Cybertruck, which was sold out, is expected to be purchased by enthusiasts

In April, the Cybertruck Cyberbeast was sold at an auction in the US for $265,000, more than twice the regular price of $99,000. Although the shortage has somewhat subsided and the price of used Cybertrucks has stabilized, many people still want to own one.

Such enthusiasts are expected to demand the burned-out Cybertruck, which will likely be used for display or decoration. However, some have expressed skepticism about selling a vehicle that has been involved in a fatal accident at auction. Criticism has also been raised as it has become known that the vehicle is likely to be used for display or decoration.
