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.

Lighting the brake lights when you come off the accelerator is going to exacerbate traffic problems as well. I find that every time someone hits their brakes the person behind the does the same at about the same point but the reaction delay adds about a second to the duration. I'm pretty confident in my opinion that this is a major cause of the domino effect in heavy traffic on highways. They really should change that behaviour, at least as a default.
