With Tesla's "Next-Gen" compact model on the back burner, its aging Models 3 & Y will drag down earnings with increasing needs for price cuts. Cash could run out.

This is some good looking analysis on Tesla’s current problems.

I don’t know if “Bankruptcy” is a word to be thrown out right now. But it is clear that the Cybertruck is a dud, the Model 2 is allegedly cancelled, and the Model 3 Highland refresh barely moved the needle.

Finally, TSLA sold fewer cars in Q1 2024 while the overall car market grew in sales. It could be an EV-only blip or problem, but in any case, its a clear problem for Tesla.

Overall, the substack article stays focused on GM, Chrysler, and Nissan and how these 2008-era and 1999-era bankruptcies have similarities to Tesla’s troubles today. It seems a bit hyperbolic, but it overall seems like a good read.

    their only selling point is that they make fast electric cars. once the rest of the industry catches up (and they’re catching up quick) they’ll have nothing but poor build quality and cult of personality worship.
