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.

What's wrong in that. A mate here was eyeing up a 'vette on a friday afternoon, the dealier threw the keys at him and just said "don't come back till the tank's empty". He bought it on the monday morning. The last thing you want is a dealer going blah-blah-blah in your ear.
