Despite initial high production expectations, Tesla sold only about 39,000 Cybertrucks in 2024, with sales stagnating in 2025. Analysts now predict low-volume sales for 2026. This purchase raises questions about SpaceX's spending but is unlikely to affect enthusiasm for its potential 2026 IPO. TSLA stock has a Hold consensus rating with a 21.3% downside risk. SpaceX (PC:SPXEX) has reportedly bought a large number of Cybertrucks from EV maker Tesla (TSLA), according to *Electrek*. More specifically, the space company may have spent tens of millions of dollars on these vehicles and could eventually buy more than 2,000 Cybertrucks as part of a longer-term plan. Interestingly, the Cybertruck was originally expected to be a high-production vehicle. ### Claim 50% Off TipRanks Premium and Invest with Confidence - Unlock hedge-fund level data and powerful investing tools designed to help you make smarter, sharper decisions - Stay ahead of the market with the latest news and analysis so your portfolio is always positioned for maximum potential Indeed, Elon Musk had predicted that Tesla could eventually make around 250,000 Cybertrucks per year, while some optimistic analysts even projected up to 500,000 units annually. However, in reality, Tesla only sold about 39,000 in 2024. In addition, reports say that sales haven't improved in 2025, and unsold inventory is building up. As a result, analysts now expect the Cybertruck to remain a low-volume product in 2026, with flat or only slightly higher sales than in 2025. Although there is nothing illegal about SpaceX buying the Cybertrucks, investors might question whether it's a smart use of money and whether the trucks will actually be put to good use. Nevertheless, this is unlikely to derail the enthusiasm surrounding a potential SpaceX IPO in 2026, which experts say could end up being the biggest IPO ever based on the amount of money it will raise. ## **What Is the Prediction for TSLA Stock?** Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on TSLA stock based on 12 Buys, 12 Holds, and nine Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average TSLA price target of $383.83 per share implies 21.3% downside risk. ### Related Stocks - [TSLA.US - Tesla](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [TSDD.US - GraniteShares 2x Short TSLA Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [TSLL.US - Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [TSLQ.US - AXS TSLA Bear Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [09366.HK - XI2CSOPTSLA-U](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09366.HK.md) - [07766.HK - XL2CSOPTSLA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07766.HK.md) - [07366.HK - XI2CSOPTSLA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07366.HK.md) - [TSLR.US - GraniteShares 2x Long TSLA Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Official Slate Truck Pricing Is Coming In Late June | Slate Auto is set to reveal pricing for its affordable electric pickup truck, the "Blank Slate," in late June.
