Extended read
Tesla's Q2 results highlight the cost of aggressive price cuts and slowing EV demand. The drop in operating profit by more than 50% suggests that the company's scale is no longer insulating it from industry-wide headwinds. The negative FCF of $1.1B will likely increase scrutiny on Tesla's capital allocation toward non-core projects like Optimus and Robotaxis.
