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.

Yeah, a lot of the EVs have gone for familiarity with ICE cars with the fuel port on the side. Much like the whole shape of EVs currently mimics ICE cars when they don't need to.
The Leaf though went different with the charger at the front under the marque badge. Even worse for this concept!
But trailer hitches come equipped with a socket for car electrics. I guess there would be another high voltage one installed the other side for this purpose.
Hurrah! Quoting works now!
