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.

Well let me write an argument more tailored towards Apple:
"Siri, please navigate me to nearest McDonalds"
"I'm sorry, I cannot do that as you have not subscribed to google Navigation"

Why would Apple care if you're subscribed to Google Navigation.
Hurrah! Quoting works now!
