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.

Toyota developed one, but it appears to have died with the electric Rav4.

Interesting. Perhaps it's just too soon for this to take off. Not enough EVs on the road to sustain the concept yet.
Hurrah! Quoting works now!
