Tesla Q2 net profit slips to $1.1 billion despite sales rebound

AI Market Summary
Tesla's Q2 net profit fell to $1.1B and missed expectations despite revenue growth, highlighting margin compression per vehicle. Rising operating expenses and heavier capex for robotaxis, batteries and semis increase near-term earnings pressure and execution risk. GM's 30% profit decline reinforces broader auto-sector profitability strain amid tariffs, geopolitical disruptions and intensifying Chinese competition, potentially weighing on EV and autos-related risk sentiment.
