The company recently reported lower than expected ad revenue and earnings per share in its Q2 financial results showing a slow don in the ad-supported streaming and connected TV ad market. 

Earlier this week, Elon Musk’s brother and Tesla board member Kimbal Musk exercised a call option to buy 25,000 Tesla shares at $74.17 per share on Monday, a Form-4 filing showed. The shares cost Kimbal $1.85 million owning now a total of 536,240 shares and the expiration date for the call option is June 18, 2025.

Tesla announced Wednesday its Q2 2022 Earnings Results reporting total revenue of $16.9 billion (up 42% year-over-year) and a 14.6% operating margin saying it expects to achieve “50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries” confirming the previous guidance.

Tesla also detailed the production in each factory adding that it achieved “record production rates across the company”. However, the company warned of “continuation of manufacturing challenges related to shutdowns, global supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and logistics and other complications, which limited our ability to consistently run our factories at full capacity”.
