Elon Musk’s Tesla woes are continuing to pile up.

Tesla has faced a number of issues since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, including plummeting stock prices, fewer deliveries of its electric vehicles and mass protests against Musk at its dealerships. Many Americans are protesting Musk and his efforts to slash federal government spending as a part of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Now, some Cybertruck owners are reporting that Tesla will not accept its own vehicle as a trade-in, according to electric vehicle website Electrek.
