Indeed, drone footage on X from user Joe Tegtmeyer recently captured what appears to be the largest public sighting of Cybercabs so far. In the footage, 14 metallic gold Cybercabs were parked together outside a factory exit. ### Claim 70% Off TipRanks Premium - Unlock hedge fund-level data and powerful investing tools for smarter, sharper decisions - Stay ahead of the market with the latest news and analysis and maximize your portfolio's potential At the same time, nine additional units were positioned at the crash-testing facility, likely going through safety and structural checks, while two more were spotted at the west end-of-line area for final inspections. Tegtmeyer also observed that Cybercabs were actively driving around the complex. In total, 25 vehicles were seen throughout the factory property. Interestingly, this ramp-up comes after the first production Cybercab rolled off the line in mid-February 2026, earlier than the initially expected April timeline. As a result, that milestone was considered to be the start of low-volume builds on Tesla's new "unboxed" manufacturing line, which is a modular system that's designed to lower costs and speed up assembly. Now, with dozens of vehicles visible, industry watchers believe that Tesla has entered into higher-volume test manufacturing. However, challenges such as software development, regulatory approvals, and supply chain scaling still need to be addressed before the vehicle reaches roads in the U.S. and internationally. ## **What Is the Prediction for TSLA Stock?** Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on TSLA stock based on 12 Buys, 11 Holds, and seven Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average TSLA price target of $396.72 per share implies that shares are trading near fair value. ### Related Stocks - [Tesla, Inc.
