Analysis Summary
SpaceX bought 1,279 Cybertrucks in Q4 2025—roughly 18% of all US sales that quarter—according to registration data reported by Bloomberg. This pattern reveals weak retail demand: when you remove Elon Musk's internal company purchases, the Cybertruck's market appeal looks worse. Q1 2026 deliveries hit 3,519 units, a 45% drop year-over-year, and the full year 2025 saw just over 20,000 US sales—less than 1/10th of Musk's 2019 production forecast. The article cites Cox Automotive and S&P Global Mobility data across multiple corroborating outlets, though it frames the SpaceX buying as primarily a sign of weakness rather than exploring operational reasons why SpaceX might need this volume.
