Published: Jun 1, 2026 10:29
According to Barron's, the market might have assumed that Tesla would offer bulk buyers a certain discount. However, that was not the case. It turned out that one of the largest buyers of the Tesla Cybertruck was none other than SpaceX. Musk's rocket company spent $131 million to purchase the futuristic-looking pickup truck. According to the S-1 IPO registration statement filed by SpaceX, the EVs were purchased "at Tesla's manufacturer's suggested retail price." SpaceX did not receive any discount. Based on this amount, approximately 1,600 trucks could be purchased. This figure accounted for roughly 8% of the total Cybertrucks Tesla sold in the US market in 2025.

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, a new monthly procurement cycle begins, and downstream restocking demand is released. Suppliers are expected to significantly raise their quotes accordingly. In terms of market performance, as copper prices remain at a relatively high level, after suppliers raise their quotes, downstream enterprises' willingness to chase higher prices remains limited. Some transactions are expected to occur after consecutive quote reductions, with coexisting willingness to hold prices firm and to cut prices for shipments. Overall, amid the tug-of-war between partial release of early-month procurement demand and high-price suppression, spot prices against the SHFE copper 2606 contract are expected to remain at a discount tomorrow.
