The company's Q2 quarterly update featured top and bottom line beats, headlined by strong margins and operating expense control. However, the bears also got their slice of meat as the yearly forecast wasn't as positive as hoped, cash flow remained iffy, and one major supporter made a surprising sale of shares.

Credit sales fell roughly as much as I said they would, and net income topped $1.1 billion on a GAAP basis. It also helped that there was $123 million less in stock-based compensation tied to CEO Elon Musk's bonus plan as compared to Q1, leading operating expenses to decline by roughly $50 million sequentially despite the sales surge.</p>\n<p>Tesla reported GAAP gross margins of 28.4% in the quarter, nicely up from 26.5% in Q1. Non-GAAP margins, which exclude credit sales, were up almost four percentage points.

Reducing debt and an accounting change have also greatly lowered interest costs, making the bottom line look much better.</p>\n<p>On the flip side, there were again some concerns about the quality of cash flow. Over the last six quarters, Tesla has produced free cash flow of $3.698 billion. Due to rising production over that time, accounts payable and accrued liabilities have risen by $3.694 billion. Some of that has been offset by an increase in inventory and accounts receivable, the latter of which continues to rise to new highs despite Tesla's direct to consumer model. Tesla has also paid a good deal of debt back in recent quarters and diluted investors considerably over the years to get its cash balance where it is.</p>\n<p>Some investors were also a little disappointed that Tesla didn't raise its yearly delivery forecast. Management is still calling for more than 50% growth, but investors were hoping that the number would be raised well into the 800k area. There seem to be some supply chain issues, and Tesla has again delayed the Semi into 2022. It also seems that the Cybertruck will be pushed back into next year as well since the factory in Texas will start with Model Y production. Management still believes that both new factories will start their respective Model Y production this year, but given that we are now in August with nothing major happening yet, it won't be at the volumes that some were hoping for when 2021 started.</p>\n<p>One other interesting item that the bears will point to is that Ark Invest sold some Tesla shares on Friday for its flagship Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK). This was not a sale due to redemptions, but a change in allocation as seen in the graphic below. Tesla bulls may point to the fact that it was approaching a weight of 10.75% in ARKK, so they will say that this was just a small trim of an outsized position. However, I would counter by saying that Tesla's weight was a full percentage point higher in the Ark Autonomous Technology and Robotics ETF (ARKQ), around 11.75% as of Monday, and has been for some time without any sales there. For a firm with a $3,000 price target on the stock, there are those who find it very curious that Ark Invest is selling Tesla below $700 a share.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbe69307a036dd3638da4e66a04cef4e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"511\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Screenshot taken from Ark Invest daily e-mail sent to author)</span></p>\n<p>Over the past couple of weeks, Tesla shares actually spent some time below their average price target on the street.
