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.

Tesla test drives are hit-and-miss. I walked into a dealer in late 11/2013 in Manhattan and asked a few questions. No other customers in the store, so the salesperson offered me a test drive. It was a weekday at 3pm or so.
I went another time a month later at King of Prussia mall and because of how busy it was in the store, they asked that we schedule a test drive for my wife another day (the demo cars (they had three) were booked for the entire day).
Of course, like any auto dealer, the test drive is in their top-of-the-line model. Truly an awesome drive.
