Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are trading higher Wednesday morning after the company released its second-quarter production and delivery results for 2025. Here’s what investors need to know.

Lee emphasized that Tesla’s core strengths lie in its engineering talent, manufacturing expertise, and leadership, which he believes are the true drivers of its valuation, not government aid.

Among other key developments, CEO Elon Musk is reportedly set to personally oversee the company’s sales operations in the United States and Europe, following the departure of executive Omead Afshar.

The move comes as Tesla has faced sales challenges in some markets. Looking ahead, the company has confirmed it plans to introduce more affordable models to its vehicle lineup in 2025 to help spur further growth.

However, this bullish sentiment is not universal. In late June, both Guggenheim and UBS maintained Sell ratings on the stock, with price targets of $175 and $215 respectively, implying significant potential downside.

Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, TSLA shares are trading higher by 2.2% to $307.34 Wednesday morning. The stock has a 52-week high of $488.54 and a 52-week low of $182.00.

How To Buy TSLA Stock

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.

For example, in Tesla’s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
