Peter, a Cybertruck owner from Colorado, says he’s selling his house together with his Cybertruck.
Peter explains he’s moving to California and needs to sell his house, but he’s decided to include the Cybertruck in the listing.
He believes that including the Cybertruck will attract wealthier buyers willing to pay in cash.
Peter shares that he has installed Tesla Power Share at his home, with the Cybertruck serving as a backup power source.
He also highlights that his home features solar power and other smart technologies, and adding the Cybertruck will boost the home’s high-tech image.
Although bundling both assets may require extra paperwork, Peter thinks it’s a worthwhile idea.
He discussed this plan with his realtor, who reassured him that it’s a brilliant marketing move.
The happy Cybertruck owner shares his story on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum.
He writes…
“I’m considering putting my house on the market, along with the Foundation Series Cybertruck with Power Share.
The house is fully equipped with home automation, centralized AV, a home theater, solar power, and various whole-house systems such as VAC, among others. This would be a dream home for any tech enthusiast.
The contract for the house and vehicle will involve extra paperwork, but that’s about it.
I’m bundling the deal for marketing purposes. With PowerShare and solar, this should attract affluent buyers who are likely to pay in cash.
My realtor thinks it’s a brilliant idea, and she knows the market well. It will be a one-of-a-kind listing. No need for financing; everything is paid for.
The reason we’re selling is that we plan to move to the Monterey, California area. I love my tri-motor Cybertruck, but I would replace it with the same vehicle or an AWD model.
Thoughts?”
Peter seems convinced that selling the house with the Cybertruck is a great idea. However, looking at the comments, fellow Cybertruck owners shared more varied opinions, with most saying it’s a bad idea.
Yes, a few Cybertruck owners supported Peter’s plan.
For example, Ace from Arizona writes…
“I think it’s a great idea.”
Another Cybertruck owner, Jay from Scottsdale, Arizona, says…
“Sounds interesting. Let us know how it goes!”
Advertising
Sterling from San Diego adds…
“Great idea; they can always offer you less for the house without the Cybertruck. You can adjust the numbers to your advantage.
Taxes: Assuming this is your primary residence, and Colorado laws are similar to California’s, you won’t have to pay capital gains on the property or the truck.
The buyer will get a truck tax-free, can finance it for 30 years, and write off the interest. The downside is higher annual real estate taxes due to the higher sale price.
Most buyers don’t consider this. In my opinion, you have nothing to lose if you’re willing to part with the truck.
I’d even advertise the uniqueness of the Foundation Series Cybertruck. You can mention in the listing that you’re willing to sell the truck separately.”
While some owners supported Peter’s idea, most others believed that bundling the sale would lower the number of potential buyers and might attract negative attention.
A fellow Cybertruck owner, SCTesla, says…
“Why bother trying it? It doesn’t make any sense. They would probably still need two loans, and you have to find someone who can buy both. Plus, it would just complicate negotiations.
What’s the benefit for you? Are you in a hurry to get cash? You’d make more money and have more buyers selling separately.”
Ben from California adds…
“That’s going to decrease the buyer pool; from the hate thread, a lot of the Cybertruck hate came from Colorado.”
A fellow Cybertruck owner from Kansas says…
“Your realtor just wants to list your house. If anything, park it in the garage and mention in the seller disclosure that it could be included in a deal.
I sold a house and made sure my Cybertruck was never there.”
A fellow Cybertruck owner from North Carolina writes…
“The best marketing is going on the MLS at the right price. It’s the gold standard.
Unless you have some eight-figure plus exotic home struggling to sell, list it without the truck and maximize your profit.”
