The opening paragraph is gloomy:
Tesla's showing all the signs of a company in trouble: bleeding cash, securitized assets, and mounting inventory. It's the trifecta of doom for any automaker, and anyone paying attention probably saw this coming a mile away. Like most big puzzles, the company's woes don't have just one source.
and the prognosis goes downhill from there mentioning competition from Audi, the lack of enough dealers to attract more buyers and other problems.

Not really. If I'm in the waiting list for a Model X how would that preclude having mounting inventory of Model 2s?

Obviously that should be Model *S*

Tesla carries no inventory. All cars are ordered online, then built to order.

Not true. They sell cars from inventory both new and pre-owned.
